Resource information
Road use charging is used by agencies
for activities ranging from revenue collection, through
demand and environmental management. It is applied on
individual road segments, such as an expressway, or over
geographic areas, such as zones in a city or even an entire
country. When a government is considering implementing a
road use charging system, it needs to consider four broad
issues: (i) the technology to adopt; (ii) how it will be
operated; (iii) how compliance will be enforced; and (iv)
the social impact of the system. This transport note
addresses each of these four issues, and presents guidelines
towards implementing a successful road use charging scheme.
