“…If the charge scheme is perceived as being effective for alleviating traffic congestion, the public will more likely support the scheme [16,27,29]. Similarly, the acceptance level will increase when individuals perceive that a congestion charge standard is fair and the majority can be benefit from this scheme [15,18,28]. From previous studies, trust in government is also considered as an important determinant of public acceptance [16,32].…”

“…Another dominating aspect focuses on how policy design and implementation would affect policy acceptance, with discussion about politically-related factors such as perceived effectiveness, perceived fairness, and trust in government [15,16,[27][28][29]31]. Policy effectiveness and fairness are positively correlated with public acceptance toward a congestion charge.…”

“…Existing literature, although mainly based on data from Europe or the U.S., investigated key determinants of public acceptance of congestion charge policies [15][16][17][18][19]. Various factors have been tested through two perspectives, namely the individual behavioral perspective and the policy-related perspective [15][16][17][18][19][27][28][29].…”

Abstract:Although various studies have investigated public acceptance of congestion charge policies, most of them have focused on behavioral and policy-related factors, and did not consider the moderating influence that individual concern about smog and perceived smog risk may have on public acceptance. This paper takes the congestion charge policy in China, targeted at smog and traffic control, and checks how smog awareness-including smog concerns and perceived smog risks, besides behavioral and policy-related factors-might influence public acceptance of the policy. In this paper, we found both a direct and moderating causal relationship between smog awareness and public acceptance. Based on a sample of 574 valid questionnaires in Beijing and Shanghai in 2016, an ordered logistic regression modeling approach was used to delineate the causality between smog awareness and public acceptance. We found that both smog concerns, such as perceived smog risk, and willingness to pay (WTP) were both directly and indirectly positively correlated with public acceptance. These findings imply that policymakers should increase policy fairness with environmental-oriented policy design and should express potential policy effectiveness of the smog controlling policy to citizens to increase their acceptance level.

“…Studies from the last decade show that perceived fairness relates to the acceptability of road pricing schemes and that the findings are replicated across countries in Europe, United States and Asia (Viegas, 2001;Fujii et al, 2004;Cools et al, 2011;Di Ciommo et al, 2013;Kim et al, 2013). A recent study in Scandinavia found fairness relevant to the implementation of safety policy measures (Eriksson and Bjørnskau, 2012).…”

Theory of planned behavior Structural equation models a b s t r a c tThis study investigates the effect of price and travel mode fairness and spatial equity in transit provision on the perceived transit service quality, willingness to pay, and habitual frequency of use. Based on the theory of planned behavior, we developed a web-based questionnaire for revealed preferences data collection. The survey was administered among young people in Copenhagen and Lisbon to explore the transit perceptions and use under different economic and transit provision conditions. The survey yielded 499 questionnaires, analyzed by means of structural equation models. Results show that higher perceived fairness relates positively to higher perceived quality of transit service and higher perceived ease of paying for transit use. Higher perceived spatial equity in service provision is associated with higher perceived service quality. Higher perceived service quality relates to higher perceived ease of payment, which links to higher frequency of transit use.

“…Indeed, plenty of recent literature reveal the benefits of congestion charges in practice (Santos, 2004;Santos and Gordon, 2006;De Palma et al, 2005;Leape, 2006;Glaister and Graham, 2006;Hensher and Puckett, 2007); while others face the public problem of road pricing acceptance (Brownstone et al, 2003;Raux and Souche, 2004;Fujii et al;Jaensirisak et al 2005;Shade and Baum, 2007).…”
