ROAD PRICING IN AUSTRALIA: A NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

Peter F. Moore

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The article examines some of the reasons why road pricing has not advanced as well as has been expected and hoped for. One of the problems recognized is that perhaps it is not clear what is attempted to achieve with road pricing generally and electronic road pricing in particular. Additional problems mentioned include: a mismatch between road demand and supply; under or misplaced investment; the need to raise government revenue; or urban congestion or environmental impacts. The focus of the article is Australia, but the the assumption is made that Australia's problems are fairly typical worldwide.
