ASSESSING REACTIONS TO CONGESTION PRICING: SURVEYS OF OPINIONS AND BEHAVIORS AT URBAN PARTNER SITES

摘要

Congestion pricing is an important tool for managing demand and providing improved mobility. Gauging the response of those potentially affected by pricing strategies is important to policy makers and implementers of such strategies, both in terms of the public's opinions and the impact on travelers' decisions. This paper describes the key role that survey data provide in informing the analysis of congestion pricing. The work is based on the evaluation of five Urban Partners, which the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) funded as demonstration sites for congestion pricing.
