• Abstract:
  In support of the U.S Department of Transportation’s (DOT) National Strategy to Reduce Congestion on America’s Transportation Network, the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Office of Natural and Human Environment (HEPN) and Office of Transportation Management (HOTM) sought assistance from The Volpe National Transportation Systems Center to explore attitudes about congestion pricing. For this exploratory study, focus groups were convened in Northern Virginia and Philadelphia among the general public, business owners and managers, and owners and managers of shipping and transportation logistics firms. The purpose of these focus groups was to obtain feedback on a specific congestion pricing scenario and to better understand the public’s concerns regarding congestion pricing. A secondary purpose was to learn more about how to communicate with the public on the topic of congestion pricing.
