Road pricing means charging motorists to enter the city centre in order to reduce congestion. Geneva is among the cities studied by the Confederation for a pilot project. The findings of the feasibility study were presented to Geneva MPs in 2025. They remained confidential for two years at the request of Federal Councillor Albert R\u00f6sti, according to L\u00e9man Bleu.<\/p>\n
The summary of the study by the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC), made public by L\u00e9man Bleu on 13 November 2026, shows a high cost for a limited effect. The scenario provides for more than 80 checkpoints around the city centre, on weekdays from 6 am to 10 pm.<\/p>\n
Below 2.50 francs<\/strong> per passage, the toll would not change drivers' behaviour. A rate of 3.75 francs would cut traffic by nearly a third within the zone, but by only 1 to 2% across Greater Geneva. The Geneva Grand Council is due to examine during the week of 16 November 2026 a UDC bill to ban road pricing in the Geneva Constitution.<\/p>\nKey figures<\/h3>\n
