Session Description

Pricing – based on carbon consumption, miles driven, or congestion – is widely seen as a very effective approach for reducing transportation-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This session is focused on examining the intended and unintended consequences of pricing (including cordon, “High Occupancy Travel” or “HOT” lanes, parking) and alternative fuel vehicle incentives (e.g., feebates, “High Occupancy Vehicle” or “HOV” lane access) on surface transportation. The session primarily examines the energy and environmental impacts of these strategies, as well as the potential social consequences.
