National Road Pricing in Great Britain: Is it Fair and Practical?
This chapter aims to inform the debate by illustrating the potential winners and losers and equity implications of two national road charging scenarios. The authors have modeled a fully revenue-additional scheme as well as a revenue-neutral scheme to examine how changes in traffic, charges for road use and speed would differ by region, levels of deprivation, urbanization and other aspects of driver behavior. By evaluating the distributional consequences of two “polar policies”, this chapter discusses whether road pricing can be made to work effectively in the United Kingdom (UK) context.
