The paper begins with a brief review of the literature on transportation and urban form, focusing primarily on the effects of changes in accessibility on land use and location. The many options available to travelers for responding to congestion prices are discussed next, some of which may considerably dampen or offset the potential for congestion prices to reshape urban form. Finally, the results are presented of interviews with a small sample of businesses and local government officials in which likely responses to congestion pricing were explored. The interviews, although preliminary, indicate that here too a number of strategies may be pursued, at least some of which could offset the potential impacts of congestion pricing on land use and development.
