Many countries around the world are making large investments in
transportation improvements, but even greater investments are still
needed. Funding is the key to promoting convenient and attractive
transportation systems.
Various types of financial resources are currently being used
and a variety of new funding systems are being introduced.
Transport policies and funding systems are at a point of
significant divergence. A detailed comparison of their conceptual
basis is extremely interesting and valuable in determining the best
direction for future transportation improvements.
Transport Policy and Funding examines how developed countries
are solving the problem of providing capital for present and future
transportation goals. After describing the theoretical basis of
funding, the authors
introduce the policies and financial systems established in several
major countries. Especially new systems are analyzed in detail,
including
charging tolls on roadway users and the utilization of private
funds for railway and airport improvement. Next, they provide a
demonstrative
clarification of how the financial resources differ among those
countries. They calculate who is actually paying for those
investments and the results are compared using a variety of charts
and tables.
This book will be of value to higher level researchers and
graduate students in transportation and economics, and also to
transportation
authorities, consultants, and government officials involved in
transportation; Ministries and other public transport agencies;
international banking and investment companies; and major
construction companies.
