11 Key questions for any potential scheme Why are you doing this? How are you going to charge me? What will it cost? Who will pay? What happens to the income? Why? Who loses? Who gains? Bologna Dec 2011 No 11

12 Why are you doing this? Recover the cost of construction (France, Melbourne, Toronto, Severn, Dartford, M6 T) Fund new infrastructure (Oslo, Trondheim) Demand restraint / congestion control (Singapore, London, Durham) Economic Social payment for infrastructure cost (Germany, Switzerland for lorries) Alternative vehicle taxation regime (Netherlands allegedly) Additional personal taxation Bologna Dec 2011 No 12

13 How are you going to charge me? For passing through a specific link [M6 Toll; Dartford Crossing] For passing through each one of many links [French Autoroutes] For being in an area [London, Stockholm] For being in each one of many areas [? ] For each Km you travel on a link [German lorry scheme] For each Km you travel varied by vehicle weight, time of day, class of road, degree of congestion etc More accurate targetting Bologna Dec 2011 No 13

14 What happens to the income? Replaces ownership fee and Fuel Duty Fuel Duty reduced; balance to Transport Everywhere or reserved for scheme area? Just roads or all public transport? Fuel Duty reduced; balance to Treasury Fuel Duty unchanged all extra to transport Everywhere or reserved for scheme area? Just roads or all public transport? Fuel Duty unchanged, extra to Transport & Treasury Fuel Duty unchanged all extra to Treasury Nastiness factor Bologna Dec 2011 No 14

19 The methods compared Microwave Mature systems Only one communications channel Cheap, simple on-board equipment Gantries for charge/enforcement point Costs at the roadside - Govt pays? Vehicle positioning Mature components; maturing systems More sophisticated on-board equipment Needs GPS and communications Much potential for wider integration Enforcement tricky - gantries needed Costs in the vehicle - owner pays? Bologna Dec 2011 No 19

20 9 Scheme Tests Ensure the underpinning reasons / problems are clearly set out and the plans are well publicised Ensure you explain why pricing is the right solution Ensure the total transport package is seen and understood traffic schemes, travel alternatives Keep it simple no multiple zones, complex tariffs Ensure most people judge the scheme as fair Ensure you have modelled different management policies Ensure you know and have addressed the views of the different behaviour and interest groups Recognise that the scheme promoters need to be trusted especially for personal and data privacy Balance technology simplicity / reliability against the need to detect and deter evasion and fraud Bologna Dec 2011 No 20

21 Traffic management and Control Bologna Dec 2011 No 21

22 Managing / controlling traffic To match flows to reflect available roadspace or other benchmarks (eg environmental objectives) Influencing modal split: To reduce reliance on or attractiveness of private transport By increasing attractiveness of more environmentally friendly and sustainable forms of transport Using ICT to reduce the need to travel into congested business areas and city centres Need to balance the above with the economic and social requirements for a viable city centre Bologna Dec 2011 No 22
