Why can't something ever be lowered? Creating artificial inflation should never be the automatic solution to any problem.

With any kind of congestion based road toll you would expect a corresponding reduction in Civic, provinicial and federal taxes. So for people who drive an average amount in average congestion there should be no change in your total fees. You would just be much more aware of the cost and have control over the cost therefore there would be incentive to reduce that cost. Any changes should be revenue neutral.
