  • The London Congestion Charge
    Journal of Economic Perspectives—Volume 20, Number 4—Fall 2006—Pages 157–176 The London Congestion Charge Jonathan Leape y the 1990s, the average speed of trips across London was below that at the beginning of the twentieth century—before the car was introduced (New- B bery, 1990, p. 35). Traffic speeds in central London had fallen more than 20 percent since the 1960s, from an average 12.7 mph for the morning peak period in 1968 (and a high of 14.2 mph in 1975) to 10 mph in 1998. Even in the larger area of inner London, drivers in 1998 spent almost 30 percent of their time stationary during peak periods and more than half their time traveling at speeds of less than 10 mph (Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions, 1998). By 2002, the all-day average travel speed in central London was just 8.6 mph (14.3 km/hour), compared to an uncongested (night-time or “free flow”) average speed of around 20 mph (32 km/hour). Congestion, measured in terms of minutes of delay per mile compared to uncongested conditions, averaged 3.7 minutes/mile (2.3 min/km) (Transport for London, 2003a, p. 11). With more than one million people entering central London between 7:00 and 10:00 a.m. on an average workday, and more than one-quarter of those by road, the cost of congestion was clearly considerable. Public concern over levels of traffic congestion was high. An independent survey in 1999 identified public transport and congestion as the two most “impor- tant problems requiring action”—selected by 46 and 33 percent of London resi- dents, respectively, compared to 20 percent for crime or law and order.

  • Congestion Charges for Urban Transport
    GOOD PRACTICES IN CITY ENERGY EFFICIENCY London, United Kingdom – Congestion Charges for Urban Transport Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) reports are published to communicate the results of ESMAP’s work to the development community. This document has not been prepared in accordance with the procedures appropriate to formal documents. Some sources cited in this paper may be informal documents that are not readily available. The findings, interpretations, and conclusions expressed in this report are entirely those of the author(s) and should not be attributed in any manner to the World Bank, or its affiliated organizations, or to members of its board of executive directors for the countries they represent, or to ESMAP. London Transportation Case Study August 2011 Project title London Congestion Charges for Urban Transport Sector Urban Transport Type of project Congestion Charges City and country London, United Kingdom City population 8.59 million (in 2008) Capital Cost US$242.8 million (Phase 1, 2002/3) US$189.5 million (Phase 2, 2006/7)1 Annual % of energy reduction 3% (44-48 million liters annually) Project status Ongoing; Phase 1 completed 2003, Phase 2 completed 2007 Project Summary In February 2003, London, the capital city of the United Kingdom (U.K.), introduced a daily congestion fee for vehicles travelling in the city’s central district during weekdays. This fee was meant to ease traffic congestion, improve travel time and reliability, and make central London more attractive to businesses and visitors. According to analysis by the City, the program has largely met its objectives. After four years of operation, traffic entering the charge zone was reduced by 21 percent; congestion, measured as a travel rate (minutes per kilometer), was 8 percent lower; and annual fuel consumption fell by approximately 44-48 million liters or about 3 percent.

  • Assessing the Value of Tfl's Open Data and Digital Partnerships
    Assessing the value of TfL’s open data and digital partnerships July 2017 Contents Foreword 01 Executive summary 03 Main report 08 Appendices 16 Methodological approach and assumptions 17 Calculation ranges 20 Stakeholders consulted 21 TfL open data 22 Foreword Assessing the value of TfL’s open data and digital partnerships Foreword With over 31 million journeys made in London every day, it is vital that people have the right travel information readily available to help them. Almost a decade ago, we decided to release a significant amount of our data – timetables, service status and disruption – in an open format for anyone to use, free of charge. Our hope was that partners would then produce new products and services and bring them to market quickly, thereby extending the reach of our own information channels. Our guiding principle ever since has been to make non-personal data openly available unless there is a commercial, technical or legal reason why we should not do so. We have worked with numerous partners and supported a growing community of professional and amateur developers to deliver new products in the form our customers want. There are now over 600 apps powered by our data, used by 42 per cent of Londoners. What is less well understood is the economic value and social benefits of this approach, which is why we asked Deloitte to undertake an independent review. This report sets out their findings, including the positive outcomes delivered to customers, road users, businesses and TfL itself. It estimates the size of these benefits and identifies further wider benefits that are not yet measurable.

  • Case Study: London
    Downtown Congestion PriCing stuDy February 13, 2020 Case Study: London In the 1960s the UK government pursued information on managing increasing congestion in London. In 1964 the Smeed Report, a feasibility study of area-wide congestion pricing, concluded congestion pricing would improve traffic conditions. Additional studies proposed congestion pricing throughout the 1970s – 1980s, yet Londoners did not find the idea publicly and politically acceptable at the time. However as public transit performance declined in the 1990s, another study in 1995 encouraging congestion pricing appealed to the city. In 1999 UK legislation enabled congestion pricing introduction and Mayor Ken Livingstone led the initiative for central London’s pricing structure. Before congestion pricing was implemented 90% of London residents supported the program because of traffic conditions, travel times, and air pollution.1 London Congestion Pricing Zone (Source: Transport for London) Since 2003, drivers traveling in an 8.5 square mile area of central London have been assessed a flat daily fee when driving within the designated zone on weekdays. Prior to adoption, funding for public transport was unreliable and congestion levels in central London were extremely high. Between 2002 and 2014 Transport for London data shows What is Congestion Pricing? that car traffic entering central London fell by 39%. In 2017, Congestion pricing involves charging a fee to the London Assembly Transport Committee conducted a drive downtown during busy hours. It is one of survey of over 1,000 people to determine public opinion the most effective tools we can use to get traffic on traffic congestion and the congestion pricing program moving, increase street safety, clean the air, and in London.
