• Abstract:
  Large road pricing projects have been implemented in U.K., France, Norway, Sweden, ; Germany, Switzerland, Singapore and Australia over the past three decades. Additionally, ; congestion pricing has been analyzed and evaluated through numerous studies in nearly ; all EU member countries, in Southeast Asia, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. ; To further understanding of international pricing, “Lessons Learned from International ; Experience in Congestion Pricing” provides a summary of selected operational areawide ; congestion pricing projects outside of the U.S. The report draws lessons from a sample of ; projects with the richest and most relevant experience, focusing on three comprehensive ; area wide projects: Singapore, London and Stockholm. Each received in depth attention ; during planning, design, implementation and operational phases and have been monitored ; and evaluated carefully. These projects should be of particular interest now that several ; U.S. cities are beginning to examine similar area wide pricing strategies to address ; congestion, environmental, energy and funding problems in heavily congested downtown ; areas. ; In addition to the lessons derived from the three key projects, this report includes a ; summary of available overseas literature on more than the three specific projects, ; including attention to equity, economic impacts and the acceptability of congestion ; pricing. Research on acceptability is especially detailed in Europe and United Kingdom ; and provides valuable lessons for U.S. cities interested in pursuing such policies. The ; report concludes with overall findings and lessons related to travel, costs and revenues, ; equity and economic impacts, environmental impacts; and public acceptance.
