Description
Book SynopsisBased on the MC-ICAM conference, this text discusses various questions relating to achieving a general public acceptance of various "road pricing" measures.
Trade Review"...provides complementary breadth in exploring public and political acceptability from a variety of viewpoints...provides an interdisciplinary look at acceptability issues drawing on political, economic, sociological, psychological, and institutional (transportation professional) perspectives...seems to emphasize the relevant facets of the 'acceptability problem' and to underscore the need for interdisciplinary research in finding solutions." Michael Iacono, Journal of Transport Geography, May 2005 "provides a good overview of the acceptability of user fees on roads in Europe. ...the attitudes and problems discussed remain important for those interested in gaining public acceptance of road, or congestion, pricing schemes. ...a good mix of theory and case-study that makes the book accessible to all levels of readers." Randal Reed, Journal of Urban Technology, April 2005
