The Committee's report examined the introduction of local road charging schemes designed to tackle problems of urban congestion.

This report focuses on the introduction of local road charging schemes designed to tackle problems of urban congestion. It contains case studies of schemes implemented in Nottingham, Bristol and Durham, as well as examining the congestion charging scheme to be shortly implemented in London. Issues discussed include: how to measure the benefits of such schemes; the process of introducing them; the level of charge and use of revenue raised from them; current and future technology requirements of road charging schemes. Concerns are considered regarding the impact of the scheme on the low paid and on public service and voluntary sector workers; the knock-on effects on public transport capacity; and the risk that schemes may merely displace traffic from city centre to suburban road networks. Overall, the Committee's report states that although it does not doubt the Government's willingness to tackle the problem of urban congestion, its approach towards charging schemes risks being 'fudged, muddled, compromised and undermined'. A more constructive and focused approach is required to promote the use of charging schemes, and the lessons from the London scheme will be of vital importance for their future development on a national scale.

Title first published in 2003. As more and more cities consider introducing urban road pricing schemes, this book describes, compares and contrasts arguments for and against using this transport policy instrument. It investigates the acceptability of various forms of road pricing schemes by examining and contextualising actual schemes and hypothetical scenarios. The resulting analysis provides a sociological theory of acceptability, carefully grounded in arguments about road pricing, which demonstrates how professional discourses diverge from publicly acceptable arguments. It also suggests ways in which consensus can be reached between the various road pricing options.
