Due to factors such as congestion and pollution there is increased
public and academic interest in road user charging. Until now the
debate has focused on the economic theory of road user charging.
However, a cogent economic case does not necessarily ensure public
acceptance and subsequent implementation. This book seeks to
provide an academic account of how such schemes might be
implemented. It deals with how the decision-making process should
be undertaken in order to secure political and public
acceptability. This book bridges the gap between economic theory
and public policy making and suggests policy options as a means of
combating road traffic congestion in urban areas. The book includes
a chapter on the Central London congestion charging scheme
detailing the various factors which have resulted in its successful
implementation. This is essential reading for academics, advanced
students of transport, economics, public policy and the
environment, and policy makers at the international, national and
local levels.
