Title: Evaluation of public opinion about congestion pricing and tolls. Final research report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:189867

The two primary objectives of the research were (1) to assess public attitudes in the Puget Sound Region toward tolls, congestion pricing, and other forms of market-based transportation pricing (e.g., gas taxes, VMT charges, parking fees) and (2) to explore various ways to present information to the public so that people will feel adequately informaed to decide whether to support pricing system. A third objective that developed out of early research stages was to measure how the level of acceptance of pricing changes (for or against) as understanding increases.
