Abstract:

This article raises numerous institutional issues that will have to be addressed if congestion pricing is to be introduced successfully. Included are the following: On which roads should peak-hour tolls be charged? What toll-collection method should be used? Should high-occupancy vehicles be included? How should tolls for a system be phased in? Additional issues are the configuring of toll roads, the handling of traffic diverted from toll roads onto other streets, dealing with nonpaying drivers, protecting the privacy of drivers, setting toll limits, determining where funds should go, and reducing peak-hour toll inequity.
