Why do you say that? Higher prices reduce the usage of every other product I can think of, unless it's something humans can not do without. 94 has more traffic than the toll road. Cigarette sales drop as prices increase, despite the presence of nicotine.
More importantly, other cities have instituted congestion pricing--or banned cars from portions of the cities--and now have fewer or no cars.
Generally, it makes sense to tax the things you don't want.
