Congestion tolls vs. revenue tolls

I think one thing that confuses people about my support for congestion pricing is that they're not clear what I mean by "congestion pricing."   

There are two kinds of road tolls.  One is a flat rate or flat charge per mile or some variation thereon.  This is the kind of toll TxDOT levies.  I've called these "revenue tolls" in the past, just to distinguish them from congestion pricing.
