Pricing and Financing Transport Infrastructures in Switzerland, A Success Story?

This chapter briefly presents the Swiss financing and regulation scheme of the transport system as it worked until 2001. The chapter then focuses on the relationship between Switzerland and the European Union (EU) and the emergence of the transalpine freight problem, which inspires the realized changes in the traditional pricing scheme. The subsequent section deals with the present pricing regime and the new policy target, according to new rules, which were introduced in January 2001. Finally, the chapter draws some conclusions on the impact of the new pricing regime and its potential to shift freight traffic from road to rail.
