In this paper, a comparison is made between the Dutch transport policy goals as described in the Second Transport Structure Plan (SVV-II) and two Institute for Research on Government Expenditure (IOO) studies on `the price of mobility'. These studies quantify government outlay, government income, tax expenditures and external costs of transport. The differences between the outcomes for 1990 and 1993 show that the Dutch government's actions are roughly consistent with the aims and means described in SVV-II. (A)
