This book was released on 2012 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 722: Assessing Highway Tolling and Pricing Options and Impacts provides state departments of transportation (DOTs) and other transportation agencies with a decision-making framework and analytical tools that describe likely impacts on revenue generation and system performance resulting from instituting or modifying user-based fees or tolling on segments of their highway system. Volume 2: Travel Demand Forecasting Tools provides an in-depth examination of the various analytical tools for direct or adapted use that are available to help develop the forecasts of potential revenue, transportation demand, and congestion and system performance based on tolling or pricing changes. Volume 1: Decision-Making Framework includes information on a decision-making framework that may be applied to a variety of scenarios in order to understand the potential impacts of tolling and pricing on the performance of the transportation system, and on the potential to generate revenue to pay for system improvements"--Publication information.

Download or read book Examining the Feasibility of Credit based Value Pricing in Texas written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of credit-based value pricing (CBVP) is an innovative method of value pricing and may solve several transportation problems, such as traffic congestion and excessive vehicle emissions. This value pricing idea would involve travelers receiving an allocation of credits every period. Different travel behaviors would then require (cost) different numbers of credits. Travelers frequently choosing high-cost credit trips (for example, driving alone on a congested freeway during rush hour) would find themselves short of credits prior to the next period and needing to purchase additional credits from travelers choosing low-cost credit options (for example, transit trips). The cost of the credits would be set in a free market system (much like a stock market) by the buyers and sellers. This research examines technical, administrative, economic, and political issues surrounding several forms of CBVP.
Download or read book Investment and the use of Tax and Toll Revenues in the Transport Sector written by Andre de Palma and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2007-04-24 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transport infrastructure developments will depend increasingly on the level of user charges. One reason is the ongoing liberalization of the EU transport sector, especially for air and rail. Another is the trend towards implementing tolls and other user charges on roads. It is expected that user charges will progressively replace government subsidies for infrastructure expansion and maintenance. Revenues from user charges may also be used to cross subsidize other transport modes. The surplus anticipated on urban roads could be used to fund infrastructure and operation of public transport and/or non-urban roads.This book brings together both the theory and the current practice of user charges, tolls and revenue use in European countries. It examines public finance aspects such as earmarking, as well as public management aspects of different pricing and revenue use principles. A set of guidelines is developed for a better use of toll and tax revenues. The set of guidelines is tested with a new cost benefit tool in case studies that cover France, Germany, Norway , Switzerland and the UK.Research in Transportation Economics is now available online at ScienceDirect — full-text online of volumes 6 onwards.

Readers will learn how to use various engineering concepts and approaches to make future transportation safer, more efficient, and more sustainable. Edited by Dušan Teodorović and featuring 29 chapters from more than 50 leading global experts, with more than 200 illustrations, the Routledge Handbook of Transportation is designed as an invaluable resource for professionals and students in transportation planning and engineering.
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.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project had two primary objectives. The first objective was to examine the relative effectiveness of potential new emission control measures, primarily from mobile sources, on 1-hour and 8-hour ozone concentrations and population exposure metrics in the Houston and Dallas areas. The second objective was to conduct a pilot-scale study to examine how portable emissions monitoring system (PEMS) technology can be used to characterize exhaust emissions from heavy-duty diesel vehicles and equipment during real-world driving conditions. The overall goal of the research was to provide a foundation for effective transportation and air quality policy decisions in eastern Texas. A total of 38 modeling simulations were conducted to examine a range of emission control strategies.
