Abstract

Congestion and increased emissions are prominent in global metropolitan areas, largely due to the lack of restrictions on car usage. While the industry is innovating by shifting to less carbon-intensive engines, the congestion problem remains largely unsolved. We propose a novel economic policy instrument called the MobilityCoin System. Based on tradable mobility credits (TMC), every user receives a credit budget at the start of each term that can be used to pay for trips. The extended abstract serves as a proof of concept for the simulation environment
