In order to address how congestion pricing would affect the regional economy, CMAP used TREDIS to model the economic impacts of 5 congestion-pricing projects. CMAP focused on the economic impacts of improved efficiency in the transportation system. It was determined that these 5 projects are expected to reduce traveler costs, improve market access, increase business output, and create new jobs. Many different industries would benefit, including those in freight and logistics, and the Chicago area itself could become more cost-competitive relative to other regions.
