Abstract:

Road Pricing means that motorists pay directly for driving on a particular roadway or in a particular area. It can directly benefit motorists through reduced congestion or improved transport infrastructure. Research shows that this concept is likely to be implemented over time by more local authorities. Key conditions for implementation of the policy include favourable legal framework and taxation system, political support and champions, clear plan on revenue use and availability of alternative modes of transport. Highlighting Indian policies, this notes analysed different transport policies in the context of cities of developed nations, this policy note discussed success parameters and barriers of implementation and different stakeholders perspectives.
