Webinar Alert: International Scan on Reducing Congestion and Funding Transportation Using Variable Road Pricing: Findings and Recommendations
Wednesday, June 9, 2010 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM EDT
In December 2009, an international scan was conducted to identify new ideas and practical, workable models for integrating variable road pricing approaches into state, local, and regional policies, programs, and practices. Scan team members interacted with host city and country experts from Stockholm, Sweden, London, England, Singapore, Germany, the Czech Republic, and the Netherlands. Specifically, the scan team explored the political, institutional, and technical factors that contributed to the successful implementation of road pricing and, in some cases, to their rejection.
Panelists will present the findings of the scan and will address the potential for road pricing to be a part of a sustainable twenty-first century transportation system. The scan was conducted under the auspices of the International Technology Scanning Program, which is conducted by the Federal Highway Administration in cooperation with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials and the National Cooperative Highway Research Program.
