      <title>The effect on CO₂ emissions of taxing truck distance in retail transports</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1456986</link>
      <description><![CDATA[To finance transportation infrastructure and to address social and environmental negative externalities of road transports, several countries have recently introduced or consider a distance based tax on trucks. In competitive retail and transportation markets, such tax can be expected to lower the demand and thereby reduce CO₂ emissions of road transports. However, as the authors show in this paper, such tax might also slow down the transition towards e-tailing. Considering that previous research indicates that a consumer switching from brick-and-mortar shopping to e-tailing reduces her CO₂ emissions substantially, the direction and magnitude of the environmental net effect of the tax is unclear. In this paper, the authors assess the net effect in a Swedish regional retail market where the tax not yet is in place. The authors predict the net effect on CO₂ emissions to be positive, but off-set by about 50% because of a slower transition to e-tailing.]]></description>

      <title>Government Plans for Lorry Road-User Charging in the UK: A Critique and an Alternative</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/783015</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The British government was planning to introduce a system of road-user charging for lorries in 2008. In July 2005, it decided to abandon these plans and incorporate the development of a charging scheme for trucks into a future road pricing system for all categories of traffic. This paper examines the objectives of the proposed lorry road-user charging scheme in the UK and argues that the government's plans for LRUC would have been inappropriate. An alternative method of road-user charging for lorries is proposed which would meet the main objectives of LRUC at much lower cost, disruption and risk and act as an interim measure until it is possible, technically and politically, to introduce general road pricing in the UK.]]></description>
