Urban Road Pricing through Selective Parking Taxes

Publication: Transportation Engineering Journal of ASCE
Volume 98, Issue 4

Abstract

Support for peak-hour tolls on fixed capacity facilities have been based on equity arguments or arguments concerning economic efficiency. Recently, a strong impetus has been provided by the National Air Quality Standards set by Congress. An additional objective of the peak-hour charge then becomes one of reducing urban auto usage in order to reduce air pollutants emitted by auto exhausts. A careful time-staged program of selective parking surcharges, law enforcement, and appropriate planning by mass transit agencies appears to be a feasible approach to imposing a crude peak-hour charge on road users.
