Pricing Mobility
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by TU Delft Open Access Journals Pricing Mobility Experiences in the Netherlands Piet Rietveld Free University Amsterdam EJTIR, 1, no. 1 (2001), pp. 45 - 60 Received: July 2000 Accepted: August 2000 Externalities of transport do not only depend on the number of kilometres driven, but also on factors such as road type, time of day, car type and on driving behaviour such as speed and acceleration. The present pricing system of car use and ownership in the Netherlands is such that the degree of differentiation is small, except for the car type aspect. Thus there is a clear mismatch between the differentiation in external costs and in pricing. A considerable share (55%) of all car-related taxes in the Netherlands relates to car ownership. The rest (45%) is paid for car use. The structure of the tax system is only vaguely related to the differentiation in the external effects. To overcome this problem, variabilisation of the tax system has been a main objective during the past 20 years in the Netherlands. A discussion is given of various ways to achieve this variabilisation such as a spatial graduation of fuel taxes, congestion pricing, a kilometre charge, and paid parking. The treatment of transport costs as a deductible in the income tax leads to major distortions in the Netherlands: a low variable cost for commuting, a zero variable cost for the company car, and a negative cost in the case of private car use for business purposes. -

Road Infrastructure Charging Policy in Europe
www.pwc.com Evaluation and future of road toll concessions Interim Report (abstract) May 2014 Statement The aim of this Study is to highlight that the concession model is the most flexible tool for constructing, maintaining and operating a network for a given period. As a matter of fact, the concession model can provide concrete benefits in the road infrastructure sector: it allows reliable and fast movements of passengers and goods assuring the best road safety standards and the highest level of service; it allows significant investments overcoming the spending constraints foreseen by the Stability and Growth Pact; it ensures the development of infrastructures with required quality standards, including mitigation measures for environmental impacts (e.g. sound barriers, waste waters control, sound-absorbing surfaces); it fosters research and development, contributing to innovation in safety as well as in traffic monitoring (e.g. intelligent transportation system). Evaluation and future of road toll concessions May 2014 PwC 2 Performance survey Questionnaires received The aims of the Performance survey currently ongoing are: get all relevant information, not publicly available, related to toll systems and concessions regimes; to get points of view, opinions, best practice and recommendations on future development of concession schemes in European countries; to get a general overview and an exhaustive understanding of the topics under evaluation.

Tolling Heavy Goods Vehicles on European Roads. from a Diverse Set of Solutions to Interoperability?
Tolling Heavy Goods Vehicles on European Roads. From a Diverse Set of Solutions to Interoperability? José Viegas CESUR – Instituto Superior Técnico; and TIS.pt, Transportes, Inovação e Sistemas, s.a. Lisbon Portugal EJTIR, 3, no. 4 (2003), pp. 331-350 Received: December 20021 Accepted: December 2003 This paper is based on work carried out in the DESIRE research project of the European Commission’s 5th Framework Program, dedicated to the identification of preferred schemes for inter-urban tolling of Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV’s) in the EU. As such, it presents some of the current developments related to this type of tolling, starting with the relevant transport policy background and a brief review of the various forms of tolling in existence and the main technological approaches used for tolling operations. A variety of situations in different countries studied in the project is then reviewed and presented in a framework that tries to put them in perspective according to several angles, accompanied by some explanation of the choices made in the various countries. A synthesis of this complex set of realities is produced thereafter in the form of a suggestion for a preferred form of pricing scheme. Recognising that various background conditions have led to legitimately different choices, but also that interoperability of each vehicle across regional and national borders is a natural request in international freight transport, the issue of the real value and costs of interoperability is finally discussed. It is argued that political difficulties for approval of these schemes at national level have been so strong that the policy package presented for parliamentary approval generally has to be very well tuned to the prevailing balances of power, thus leaving the issue of interoperability to a later stage. -
