Measuring the Public Acceptance of Urban Congestion-Pricing: A Survey in Melbourne (Australia)

Abstract: The practical implementations of congestion-pricing are largely restricted, due to the low public acceptance level. Based on a field survey, this study reveals the public acceptance level in Melbourne, Australia. It was found that the level of acceptance for a new congestion-pricing scheme is 42%, which still needs to be improved if a congestion-pricing scheme is to be implemented. Some strategies are proposed and discussed to increase the acceptance level towards congestion charge in urban cities, including a… Show more

“…Then, the stakeholders' acceptance of possible scenarios of development is assessed and theoretical research on stakeholders' choice in urban logistics (Stathopoulos et al 2012) is proposed by explicitly addressing the issues of cooperation (and considering there is an individual and a group component) but also by providing practical but generalizable results. Liu et al (2018) address the issue of acceptance of congestion-pricing policies in Melbourne, Australia. Using a survey-based analysis, authors show the acceptance of inhabitants as regards to different congestion pricing policies, in relation to different users' profiles.…”

“…In the field of urban transport research, willingness-to-pay and acceptance plays a significant role in the study of feasibility of new charges, especially congestion charge and road tolls (e.g. Grisolía et al, 2015;Jászberényi and Munkácsy, 2009;Yusuf et al, 2014), as well as new pricing schemes in public transport Li et al, 2010;Liu et al, 2016). Analysis of intention-to-use is applied to identify persuasion strategies and promotion tools before the introduction of a new or improved product or service, such as information services (Farag and Lyons, 2012), improved quality and integration of public transport (Chowdhury and Ceder, 2016;De Oña et al, 2016;Fujii and Van, 2009;Kuo and Tang, 2013), automated driving (Payre et al, 2014), etc.…”

“…For the case of Edinburgh, where the project was approved, a public referendum was conducted in February 2005, after which the public accepted the introduction of congestion pricing in the city [6]. In recent years, many countries and regions studied the political and public acceptability of introducing the congestion pricing policy locally [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”
