Abstract

This paper examines the benefits of moving from cordon tolls to congestion pricing in Oslo. It is hypothesised that any move to make motorists pay the full social cost of their trips according to marginal cost pricing principles will generate considerable social benefits as compared to status quo. The results indicate that there is a sound basis for a system with time differentiated tolls with the peak traffic being charged higher than others.
