“…If a congestion charge scheme is perceived to be able to bring benefits to the majority, it is generally regarded as fair and consequently receives higher public support (Ittner et al, 2003;Fujii et al, 2004;Schade and Schlag, 2003;Jakobsson et al, 2000), two important factors on equity impact of congestion charge are initial travel patterns and revenue redistribution (Eliasson and Mattsson, 2006) Trust in government Trust in government can be related to fairness. Fujii (2005) reported that people's trust in government influences acceptability of congestion charge.…”

“…On the other hand, TDM measures are opposed by the public if they are perceived to be ineffective in solving the most important problems resulting from car use (e.g., congestion and environmental problems, see Rienstra, Rietveld, & Verhoef, 1999; Schade & Schlag, 2003). For example, public acceptability of a toll ring in Oslo increased after its introduction when traffic congestion decreased (Odeck & Bråthen, 2002).…”

The private car is fast, comfortable, and convenient. However, worldwide massive car use causes serious environmental problems. Although breakthroughs in clean automobile technology may be under way, reducing car use seems necessary in order to achieve a sustainable transportation system. Several travel demand management (TDM) measures have therefore been proposed and some have been implemented with this aim. The article reviews research addressing the question of how effective, acceptable to the public, and politically feasible such measures are. The conclusion is that noncoercive TDM measures alone are unlikely to be effective in reducing car use. Therefore, coercive TDM measures such as increasing cost for or prohibiting car use may be necessary but are difficult to implement because of public opposition and political infeasibility. If combined with noncoercive TDM measures providing attractive travel alternatives and communicating the benefits of car-use reduction to the public, coercive TDM measures are likely to become more effective, acceptable, and politically feasible.

“…For an elaborate review on various TC proposals in the transport domain, we refer to GrantMuller and Xu (2014) and Fan and Jiang (2013). At the same time, a parallel series of studies on the potential of so-called personal carbon trading schemes, targeting not only personal transport but all carbon emitting sources used by households, has emerged in the environmental literature (e.g., Starkey, 2012;Fawcett, 2010;Capstick and Lewis, 2010). The overall conclusions of these proposals are that TC schemes are theoretically efficient and could feasibly replace current road pricing and rationing initiatives, that widely encounter low acceptability rates (Jaensirisak et al, 2005;Schade and Schlag, 2003) and often lead to substantial undesirable side effects (Hao et al, 2011;Davis, 2008).…”

A B S T R A C TThere is increasing interest in the application of tradable credit schemes in the context of personal travel. To anticipate the short-term effects of a distance-based tradable driving credit (TDC) scheme, an innovative stated adaptation experiment has been conducted. Using an activity-based approach, Dutch participants who frequently commute by car could reschedule their car-based activities and alter the travel pattern they reported in an online travel diary for a full week. This paper presents the results of model estimations that describe the likelihood of changing car use and the number of kilometres driven in response to two TDC scenarios. Reductions were larger for those who experienced a loss under the measure compared to those who could expect a gain. Participants who worked more hours and who lived in non-urban areas showed lower car use reduction levels, whereas participants with middle incomes and who were 18-25 years old showed higher reduction levels. A car dependency measure was added to the models to assess how these effects are related to the availability of car use alternatives.
