The paper uses the mobility&ndash;accessibility distinction to distinguish different implementations of congestion pricing. A mobility-based congestion pricing promises to alleviate congestion but threatens to deteriorate from overall regional accessibility as it accelerates metropolitan deconcentration. In contrast, accessibility-based congestion pricing avoids acceleration of sprawl by incorporating policies to ensure that drivers tolled off roads are replaced with residents and travelers arriving at previously congested areas by other means. </p></div> </div> http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/20667 http://tags.library.upenn.edu/makerecord/url/20667 <div class="headerBlack"><strong>Rethinking accessibility and jobs-housing balance</strong></div><div class="textMedium"><!--Start AUTHORS--> <a href="http://proquest.umi.com/pqdlink?did=29113821&amp;Fmt=7&amp;VInst=PROD&amp;VType=PQD&amp;CSD=342108&amp;RQT=590&amp;VName=PQD&amp;TS=1192472926&amp;clientId=3748"><em>Jonathan Levine</em></a>. <!--End AUTHORS--><!--Start PUB_TITLE--><strong><a href="http://proquest.umi.com/pqdlink?RQT=318&amp;pmid=27482&amp;TS=1192472926&amp;clientId=3748&amp;VInst=PROD&amp;VName=PQD&amp;VType=PQD">American Planning Association.

However, the significance of jobs-hunting balance is not in reducing congestion; even when successful, such policies will have little impact on average travel speeds. Rather, the relaxation of suburban regulation that could lead to improved matches between home and workplace is seen as enhancing the range of households' choices about residence and transportation. </p></div></div>
