ICE: Road toll should be used to fund infrastructure

摘要

The government should introduce a road usage toll to fund infrastructure development and cut carbon emissions, a report from the Institution of Civil Engineers has concluded.The report said users should be charged more to use a road at peak times, where the stopping and starting of cars increases their carbon emissions.The report found that population growth, which is predicted to be as high as 20% in some areas over the next 20 years, meant the government needed to manage demand for infrastructure.
