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.

Download or read book Congestion Pricing in Traffic Control written by Marco D. Sheehan and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 Credit-based Congestion Pricing written by Pradeep Kumar Gulipalli and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Credit-based congestion pricing (CBCP) is a novel strategy which seeks to overcome the negative equity impacts of congestion pricing (CP) by allocating monthly budgets to eligible travelers to spend on congestion tolls. Previous CBCP studies have surveyed public opinion and examined the traffic and travel-welfare impacts of an Austin, Texas application. This work develops the policy further, examining expert opinions, predicting traffic impacts, estimating air-quality changes, and predicting system costs. We surveyed transport economists, toll technology experts, administrators, policymakers, and commercial interests for feedback on credit distribution, revenue uses, technology, costs, and system-wide impacts. Various issues involving the different possible uses of CP toll revenues were discussed. In addition, joint destination-mode choice models were estimated and applied for the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) region. Status quo and two marginal cost pricing (MCP) scenarios were simulated for the short-term and long-term, with full feedback, using the method of successive averages for equilibration. As expected under such a policy, total regional vehicle miles traveled was predicted to fall and speeds increase, though significant mode shifts are not predicted. Air quality improvements are also hoped to be a valuable benefit of CBCP, as predicted by mobile source emissions, estimated using MOBILE6. Total travel benefits were quantified as the welfare change between the MCP scenarios and the status quo. On average, most of the DFW population (about 95% of the "budget-eligible" travelers) is expected to gain from the CBCP policy. The analysis does not predict significant benefits to come from pricing all roads, when compared to the case when only freeways are priced. Estimates of policy implementation costs for the DFW region are provided here as well. And MCP toll revenue and sample CBCP traveler budgets were estimated, suggesting that costs will consume about 42% of revenues, leaving the remainder for revenue distribution. Based on these applications, interviews, and synthesis of the pricing literature, this thesis offers detailed recommendations for CBCP implementation

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As traditional sources of funding for the nation's surface transportation system fail to keep pace with demand, proposals for new sources have proliferated. New funding strategies, such as pricing the use of new and existing roads, and new institutional arrangements, such as public-private partnerships, have emerged over the past few years. As with all transportation policies, these strategies raise questions about equity. To address these concerns, the Transportation Research Board convened an expert committee to provide guidance to public officials about assessing the equity of evolving transportation finance mechanisms. The committee's findings are presented in this report. They are organized under the following chapter headings: (1) Equity and Transportation Finance; (2) How Transportation is Funded and Who Pays; (3) Equity Through Different Lenses; (4) Transportation Finance Equity: Evidence and Experience; (5) Equity and Decision Making: Experience with Road Pricing; and (6) Findings and Recommendations."--pub. desc.

This book was released on 2008-01-24 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic growth and globalisation create traffic growth, leading to congestion, which again increases travel times and costs. Road pricing is an instrument that may efficiently reduce the negative impacts. This volume is a collection of research papers on the use of road pricing. The focus is on passenger transport, and the papers cover a wide range of approaches, including theoretical modelling and empirical studies of road pricing experience from different cities.

Download or read book Is Congestion Pricing Fair? written by Jonas Eliasson and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses and analyses whether congestion charges can be considered to be "fair" in different senses to the word. Two different perspectives are distinguished: the consumer perspective and the citizen perspective. The consumer perspective is the traditional one in equity analyses, and includes changes in travel costs, travel times and so on. Using data from four European cities, the analysis shows that high-income groups pay more than low-income groups, but low-income groups pay a higher share of their income. This paper argues that which distributional measure is most appropriate depends on the purpose(s) of the charging system. The citizen perspective is about individuals' view of social issues such as equity, procedural fairness and environmental issues. This paper argues that an individual can be viewed as a "winner" from a citizen perspective if a reform (such as congestion pricing) is aligned with her views of what is socially desirable. Using the same data set, this paper analyses to what extent different income groups "win" or "lose" from a citizen perspective - i.e., to what extent congestion pricing is aligned with the societal preferences of high- and low-income groups.

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.

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.
