Title: The Funding of Urban Transportation and the Issue of Road Pricing
Abstract: Funding and pricing urban transportation is the issue addressed by this paper, adopting a perspective originating in the roots of the 1970s funding crisis. There seems to be an oscillation between paralysis and financial disaster in the history of urban transportation systems. There is analysis of this structural weakness as the outcome of a conflict between individual and collective satisfaction. Different kinds of public authority responses to public transportation at the risks of reducing overall transportation speed, or, in urban areas, charging for road use. There is consideration of modeling exercises, assessment of ongoing schemes, efficiency issues, as well as acceptability, in order to discuss the relevance of this last option.
