Equity concerns raised by congestion pricing can be addressed to make approach viable
Date:6/1/2009

g new roads with congestion pricing revenue, or how adding congestion pricing to existing transportation finance mechanisms would change the equity implications overall.

The study recommends that transportation planners should consider measuring and assessing equity concerns early in the planning process when considering congestion pricing. Once a plan is developed, the RAND study recommends the approach be tested through modeling. Programs that have been implemented should be periodically monitored to make sure they remain equitable over time as populations and travel patterns shift.

The study, "Equity and Congestion Pricing: A Review of the Evidence," is available at www.rand.org.

The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) is a leading national nonprofit organization representing more than 500,000 members. Since 1967, EDF has linked science, economics and law to create innovative, equitable and cost-effective solutions to society's most urgent environmental problems.

The study was conducted by the Transportation, Space, and Technology program within RAND Infrastructure, Safety and Environment. The mission of ISE is to improve the development, operation, use and protection of society's essential physical assets and natural resources and to enhance the related social assets of safety and security of individuals in transit and in their workplaces and communities.
