This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contrast, conventional congestion pricing schemes, e.g., marginal-cost pricing, may result in much higher toll rates for less travel time savings. In the second approach, we aim to optimize pricing schemes against an equity measure. This approach considers the effects of income on travelers\U+201f\ choices of trip generation, mode and route in the presence of toll and explicitly captures the impacts of pricing schemes across different income and geographic groups. A pricing model is proposed to seek for a balance between efficiency and equity. Lastly, this dissertation investigates the equity implications of tradable credit schemes. Tradable credit schemes are alternatives to congestion pricing, which charge credits instead of money. The credits are distributed to the travelers by the government and can be freely traded among travelers. A model is proposed in this dissertation for designing a credit distribution and charging scheme that achieves a balance between equity and efficiency. The scheme is demonstrated to have more potential than congestion pricing scheme in achieving superior performance on both equity and efficiency measures.

Book excerpt: Transportation policymakers are increasingly considering congestion pricing a promising option for addressing urban traffic-congestion problems. While some congestion pricing projects have been undertaken in the United States, many proposals have been rejected based on worries that congestion pricing is inequitable. This report looks at the evidence that might support or negate this claim. As congestion pricing has been both studied and implemented more widely, a body of evidence based on both real-world implementations and models of proposed and hypothetical congestion pricing systems has been growing. While a number of papers have been published in this area, it has been difficult to reach general conclusions about whether congestion pricing is equitable. This report provides an overview of the literature from both economists and transportation planners to highlight what is known about the equity implications of congestion pricing.

Book excerpt: Urban traffic congestion poses challenges to American cities in the form of lost time, economic costs, increased accidents, air pollution, and barriers to mobility. Congestion pricing has the potential to be part of the solution yet also raises a number of concerns about whether pricing a public good can be done in an equitable manner. Past studies suggest the policy is not inherently unfair, however, these studies are retroactive and focus on economic notions of welfare that are at odds with how we understand the role of equity in planning. This thesis seeks to move beyond retrospective fairness evaluations and investigate how one could plan for an equitable congestion pricing scheme by proposing a new framework, inspired by the method of scenario planning, to evaluate congestion pricing. This framework will be used to examine the case of a potential congestion pricing scheme in the Boston Metropolitan Region. This study combines best practices from the field of scenario planning with spatial and statistical analysis to methodically evaluate a scheme definition and understand how subpopulations are impacted differently by charging. This thesis will also analyze the distributional impacts, making use of travel diary data and the synthetic control method, of the London Central Charging Scheme to illustrate how scheme design and policy levers can contribute to differential behavioral responses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The synthesis describes the experience of several foreign countries that have used road pricing, or congestion pricing, as a means to manage congestion. The synthesis contains dicussions of the policy, equity, and implementation issues associated with congestion pricing. Several of the schemes described were planned or implemented as methods to increase roadway funding rather than for congestion management, but have had the effect of changing travel patterns."--Avant-propos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing potential equity issues is often vital to obtaining the support needed to implement road pricing projects. In order for road pricing projects to succeed, the implementing State, regional, and local agencies must understand equity issues, develop mitigating measures, and articulate the issues and mitigation strategy to both decision makers and the public. This book provides a guidebook for state, regional, and local governments on addressing potential equity impacts of road pricing; and discusses income-based equity impacts of congestion pricing.

Book excerpt: Congestion costs highway users billions of dollars every year. Although policymakers have adopted a variety of strategies for reducing or mitigating congestion, relatively little attention has been paid to policies to promote more efficient use of the highway system. One such policy is congestion pricing, under which drivers are charged a higher price for use of a highway at times or places with heavy traffic and a lower price in the opposite circumstances. This book explains how congestion pricing works, reviews the best available evidence on projects that make use of such pricing in order to assess the benefits and challenges of the approach, and discusses federal policy options for encouraging congestion pricing. Congestion pricing also can be linked to strategies to improve mobility by making alternatives to the private automobile, such as subways, buses or commuter rail service, more attractive during peak periods. The revenues generated by such pricing have sometimes been used to pay for improvements in public transportation systems. This book consists of public documents which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to provide easy access.

Download or read book Road Congestion Pricing in Europe written by Harry Ward Richardson and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . . . this book is an interesting collection of papers on the topic of road congestion pricing. . . The reader should find this collection to be both interesting and informative, but also quite thought-provoking. . . The papers also provide some very useful information about projects that have not worked or have not been implemented for various reasons and lessons that can be learnt from failures to implement and failures of pricing schemes. Peter R. Stopher, International Planning Studies In February 2003, the London Congestion Charging Scheme was introduced and in 2006 a similar policy was introduced in Stockholm. In both cases automobile traffic entering the cordon declined by about 20 percent. This book evaluates these and other similar programs exploring their implications for the United States. While there is increasing interest in road pricing in the US in many individual states, the motivation is often highway financing rather than congestion relief. The contributors argue that the prospects for extensive implementation in the US remain uncertain. Nevertheless, this book illustrates that the European experience suggests political feasibility is much less of a hurdle than was once considered and that congestion pricing would have a significant impact in reducing traffic as it did in Europe. This study s value lies in the fact that it examines road pricing in the real world and not simply from a theoretical viewpoint. As a comparative study it will appeal to both policymakers and academics in transportation economics and planning, urban economics, planning and economic geography.
