Provide dynamic route information panels and variable speed control signs to communicate information on congestion, incidents and alternatives to slow traffic before drivers reach the queue. This has been successfully demonstrated to increase safety, improve efficiency and reduce delay.

Explore road pricing schemes to modulate private automobile access to urban centers. Pricing should include incentives for changing modes or time of travel. Revenue from these schemes can be used to improve services, such as park and ride systems or public transportation (new routes, cleaner fleets and service frequency improvements). Revenue can also be used to aggressively encourage alternative modes through free or discounted public transportation passes, etc. Pricing should also take into account the benefits of reducing peak-period traffic, improving air quality, and encouraging walking and biking in the urban centers.

Provide dynamic near-trip information and even on-trip (en route) information to influence time, route, mode and destination choice. For example, commuters can be provided with real-time information on travel times to their work location if they continue to drive or if they shift to a nearby park-and-ride service.
