  1. When might we see congestion charging in British cities outside London? Petros Ieromonachou TPS Bursary Awards

  2. To present information on existing road pricing schemes from Britain and abroad To establish a framework of key factors affecting the overall implementation process of RP schemes To explore the possibilities of ‘Stoneford’ – a hypothetical city – which was about to implement RP Secondary Objectives Objectives of the report

  3. Past experience - Norway • Bergen (1986) • 1st urban toll ring, small area but big effect, created a format for other cities to follow • Oslo (1990) • Largest TR, automated charging, advanced from road financing to alternative mode infrastructure financing • Trondheim (1991) • 1st automated TR (AutoPASS), continuous upgrade & evolution, public not supportive, ended Dec 2005 • Total 6 urban schemes currently • Changing objectives but not CC yet

  4. Past experience - Italy • Bologna (1989) • 1st ZAC (Zone Access Control) manual + automated, intermitted operation due to political priorities, did not advance to RP • Rome (2001) • Started as ZAC, evolved to a hybrid form of RP, use of TelePASS • Genoa (2003) • ZAC, RP trials, political indecisiveness & instability • Growing acceptance of ZAC, development of relevant technology but RP policy slowdown

  5. Past experience - UK • Durham (2002) • 1st RP scheme, result of previous attempts • London (2003) • Most important, size, difficulties, success & expansion • Edinburgh • Would be a complete urban RP solution, political & public opposition, unresolved issues, setback to the UK RP scene • TIF for 10 regional pilot projects

  6. How can this learning be applied to Stoneford? Recurring issues: Consensus on the problem Choice of scheme Transparency Local politics & network alliances Stoneford

  7. Key factors identified from the investigated schemes: Partner/Actor Networks Project Champion Expectations/Motivations Protection measures Network learning User learning/Acceptance Stoneford

  8. Government strategy for national and local schemes exists but, Local schemes need ‘marketing’ RP is a complex policy and decision Overall implementation process requires work from system builders and champions Also needs a change in institutional & user attitudes Conclusion
