DISTANCE-BASED VEHICLE INSURANCE AS A TDM STRATEGY

This article discusses the concept of distance-based private motor vehicle insurance. It describes three distance-based insurance pricing options, compares their costs and benefits, and explores barriers to implementing them. Mileage-pricing is recommended as the most effective, equitable, and cost-effective option. It would reduce total automobile travel by an estimated 5 percent to 15 percent, making it among the most effective of transportation demand management measures currently proposed.
