Acceptability of Road Pricing

This chapter discusses how acceptability judgments may best be derived. The authors present a theoretical framework to account for determinants of acceptability and the authors examine to what extent these determinants actually explain public acceptability of the Stockholm congestion charge scheme. The authors hypothesize that road pricing is more acceptable if individual car users are aware of the problems caused by car use, whether they expect the road-pricing scheme to be effective in reducing these problems, and whether the road-pricing scheme will affect their own car use.
