  Dynamic tolls present an opportunity for municipalities to eliminate
congestion and fund infrastructure. Imposing tolls that regulate travel along a
public highway through monetary fees raise worries of inequity. In this
article, we introduce the concept of time poverty, emphasize its value in
policy-making in the same ways income poverty is already considered, and argue
the potential equity concern posed by time-varying tolls that produce time
poverty. We also compare the cost burdens of a no-toll, system optimal toll,
and a proposed ``time-equitable" toll on heterogeneous traveler groups using an
analytical Vickrey bottleneck model where travelers make departure time
decisions to arrive at their destination at a fixed time. We show that the
time-equitable toll is able to eliminate congestion while creating equitable
travel patterns amongst traveler groups.
