Transport Approaches: Road Pricing
Economic measures to affect transport change
Levy based aspect of choiceToll roads, congestion charging, low emission zones
Politically sensitive‘Regressive’ taxPaying twice for asset?
![Page 11: Urban Policy Working Group April 8, 2011 · Issues Local – Regional – National – International linkages Traffic congestion Land Use integration Modal Choice Road safety Freight](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022071010/5fc8ae4e00cc2d33f1029155/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Transport Approaches: Congestion Charging
Used to reduce congestion through targeted area chargingCan be adjusted for vehicles or time of day
ImpactsSingapore: pioneers, very effectiveLondon: mixed – reports show initial
decrease but growing traffic volumes.– Significant issues with road works– Substantial revenue generation invested into transport
Stockholm: effective but low public support
Enforcement: Number Plate recognition

Transport Approaches: Low Emission Zones
Used to improve air quality through encouraging vehicles to become cleanerIncluded vehicles must reduce their emission levels or pay penaltiesCan be adjusted for pollutant type, vehicles, time of day or general standard e.g., EURO III

Traditional approach to traffic engineering?
Motorists: "selfish, stupid, obedient automatons who had to be protected from their own stupidity“
Non-motorists: "vulnerable, stupid, obedient automatons who had to be protected from cars –and their own stupidity"
Prof John Adams
"if you treat drivers like idiots, they act as idiots“Hans Mondermann

Electric Vehicles
•Emit 40% less CO2
using UK grid mix –potentially zero carbon in the future
•No tailpipe emissions
•New, but rapidly growing technology attracting investment
Why electric vehicles?
Potential to contribute 10‐15k jobs and £600m annually to London’s economy by 2025
Low Carbon Economy
Road transport is responsible for 16% of London’s CO2
emissions
Climate Change
Road transport is responsible for 45% of London’s NOx emissions and 56% of its PM10 emissions
