Road pricing progresses - but in a less than certain manner

Greater Manchester and the West Midlands are two of the potential biddersfor a share of the Transport Innovation Fund (TIF) in the UK. The bids will include plans for road pricing and investment in public transport. Other bidders include the West of England Partnership, and Norfolk. This article outlines the progress that the different groups are making with their bids, highlighting the uncertainty that remains over whether the bids will gain the necessary support. Cardiff is planning a public private partnership for delivering transport improvement with road charging, separate from the TIF scheme. Capita Symonds, Carillion and Cardiff City Council have developed the partnership model. The Green Light Group was established to consider how road pricing can be implemented in the UK.
