Urban Transport Pricing in Europe

Urban Transport Pricing is currently a key theme in European transport policy. Pricing road use by time, place and distance of travel offers planners and politicians a powerful tool for reducing urban road traffic. The benefits are cleaner, safer, quieter cities, with more efficient transport networks for all travelers.

The European Commission has funded a number of projects in the area of transport pricing, in order explore the technical, financial, operational, political and social issues associated with implementing road pricing projects.
