ROAD PRICING IN HONG KONG: A VIABLE PROPOSAL

This paper discusses current transport policy in Hong Kong. The study's recommendations form the basis of the Hong Kong government's second Green Paper of Transport Policy. The policy options available and the recommended packages are reviewed. Draconian measures are being recommended in Hong Kong to reduce the use of cars and lorries. These include increased ownership taxes, increased fuel taxes, goods vehicle controls and electronic road pricing. However, despite clear economic advantages there is considerable political opposition to implementation.
