“…The empirical evidence suggests that individuals are willing adopters of hybrid technology, and that the significance of the annual and variable emissions charges in the choice experiment are viewed as contributing drivers of this change. Such results are promising given that the performance of future road pricing systems will be influenced by the way in which charges are levied and the level of the charge (Balwani and Singh 2009). The findings suggest that the pricing scheme implemented in this study can result in significant behavioural change in line with reducing vehicle emissions.…”

“…Sixteen of the 18 publications reported findings or estimates of reduced traffic-related harms and increased safety benefits as a result of implementing a CPP for at least one measured safety outcome and/or in at least one scenario/analysis (see Table 1 for list of measured safety outcomes; see Table 2 for findings of the 18 publications) [ 6 , 21 – 30 , 32 – 39 , 41 , 42 ]. Estimated reductions of the number of road traffic crashes following CPP implementation included 3.6% per year in Stockholm’s zone-based charging area and 35% per month in London’s zone-based charging area [ 23 , 27 ].…”

Congestion Pricing Policies and Safety Implications: a Scoping Review

Congestion pricing policies (CPPs) are a common strategy for addressing urban traffic congestion. Research has explored several impacts of these policies (e.g., air quality, equity, congestion relief). The purpose of this review was to synthesize findings from publications examining CPP impacts on road user safety outcomes. We conducted a systematic search of relevant literature in four large research databases (Transport Research International Documentation, Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus), searching from database inception through January 2021. We identified 18 eligible publications. Safety-related outcomes included overall crashes and injury crashes with stratification by injury severity and road user type (e.g., bicyclist, pedestrian). A majority of the publications examined zone-based CPPs ( n = 13) and used observed data involving real policies ( n = 10), as compared to a predicted or simulated analysis. Decreases in overall crashes and injuries for some road users were observed (e.g., car occupants). While some studies estimated short-term increases in injuries and crashes for bicyclists and motorcyclists (likely due to shifts from personal vehicle use to other transportation modes and increased exposure), most analyses focused on longer-term impacts and generally found a reversal and eventual decrease in injuries and crashes after a few years. The relative scarcity of safety outcomes in published literature, along with the wide breadth of CPP types, implementation contexts, and outcomes measured, demonstrates that more research on safety outcomes is needed. Cities and regions planning to implement CPPs should consider potential mode shifts and safety supports for all road users (e.g., bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure).

“…Thus, DBC represents an arguably fairer, dynamic and more transparent road‐pricing mechanism (e.g., Balwani & Singh, ) that can promote better use of infrastructure, and a reduction in traffic during the peak hours, together with fewer transport‐related emissions. Ideally, DBC would be implemented at a national level to ensure that road users across all locations are treated equally, and revenue is shared between governments based on their responsibilities to manage external costs arising within their respective jurisdictions.…”

Road congestion and infrastructure funding challenges have become a major concern in urban centres in Australia. Recent debates pertaining to private motor vehicle usage have renewed interest in alternative road user charging (RUC) to internalise the external costs associated with private motor vehicle usage. One possible solution is distance‐based charging (DBC), which could provide a more transparent road pricing system. We review the salient features of RUC and DBC, the costs associated with private vehicle usage that DBC is expected to capture, and undertake an analysis of existing vehicle classification systems that underpin current RUC schemes within Australia. Based on this, we propose a new vehicle classification system that could be used to support the design of a workable DBC scheme.
