Abstract:Pricing externalities from vehicle use such as road damage, vehicular emissions (both greenhouse gases and local pollutants), and congestion has become a hot topic in the transportation sector in recent years. Road user charge pilot programs are being explored in various states in the US, cities like New York and San Francisco are following in the footsteps of Stockholm and London by announcing plans to implement congestion pricing, and numerous cities and countries have announced gasoline vehicle phase-outs or bans. In this study, the authors provide an overview of the academic literature related to vehicle pricing, the authors examine case studies of locations where pricing has been implemented, and the authors investigate the design choices for programs that would address each of the three externalities. The analysis finds opportunities for integrating technology across multiple pricing programs–by relying on overlapping systems, programs can be implemented more efficiently and provide tremendous cost savings.
