ROAD USERS PERSPECTIVE [WHY DO WE NEED ROAD PRICING?]

John Metcalfe

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The views of the Australian Automobile Association (AAA) on road pricing, charging and taxation are presented. We argue that of the fuel excise collected (currently 44 cents/litre), the Federal Government should distinguish between what is a charge for road use and what is a tax for general revenue purposes. The conditions under which road pricing will be accepted are outlined, and the attitude of motorists to toll roads as revealed in recent survey work are reported. (a) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no. E202540.
