To overcome city council resistance to congestion pricing, leverage innovative strategies focusing on equity, transparency, and stakeholder engagement. Earmark revenues for public transport improvements and community benefits to gain public support. Implement pilot programs to demonstrate the policy's effectiveness, and use data-driven insights to refine approaches. Engage in broad stakeholder dialogues to address concerns, particularly from low-income communities. Emphasize ethical considerations, ensuring policies do not disproportionately harm vulnerable populations. These steps foster sustainable urban development and long-term political support.

There has to be a constitutional mandate to ensure the aspirations of people within the biological capacity of mother EARTH .One can call it as‘Environmental Efficiency Act’ where all dimensions of human development and prosperity are taken care of in the most equitable way. On the other hand we also have to consider the biological capacity of mother EARTH the very foundation of our life. If such sustainable policy frame works are made city govt cannot legally resist such measures.

Una tarifa de congestión es útil cuando se protege al más necesitado, teniendo una tarjeta donde yo pueda aplicar los descuentos directamente sobre el más necesitado, puedo darle prioridades a los que más viajan y si son individuos de bajos recursos o estudiantes de escuelas y universidades públicas. De esta manera se puede favorecer con tarifas más económicas en horarios fuera de la congestión para los ciudadanos sin subsidios y dentro de la misma solo priorizar a ciudadanos de bajos recursos y cuanto más medios toman para llegar al destino, mayores los descuentos. No sirve intentar una política de mejora ambiental cuando se perjudica al más pobre, ya que serán los primeros en mover las masas para no llevarlas a cabo.

Una forma de influir en la opinión de estos órganos de decisión sería asociar estos cobros por congestión a beneficios directos, es decir, condicionar su implementación primero a la creación de nuevas alternativas de transporte público, que sean atractivas urbanísticamente y con comodidades para el viaje y segundo destinar el recaudo de la medida directamente a estas alternativas.
