TRANSPORT, LAND-USE AND THE ENVIRONMENT. CHAPTER 10: SHORT-TERM IMPACT ANALYSIS OF PRICING STRATEGIES ON VMT (VEHICLE MILES TRAVELLED) REDUCTION
In order to comply with standards imposed by the US Environmental Protection Agency a number of strategies are being implemented across the United States. This paper assesses the impact of some of these transportation control measures, in particular pricing strategies, on the reduction of mobile sources of emissions and vehicle miles travelled. The case of Chicago is examined. Using data from the Chicago Area Transportation Study, a number of scenarios are tested which affect the cost of driving. These include various combinations of increases in fuel costs and parking charges. The most effective transportation control measures are identified. For the covering abstract see IRRD 883195.
