This paper was presented at the `Building Environmental Externalities into Full-Cost Accounting' session.

Such initiatives, it is reasoned, will moderate the growth in demand for, and environmental impacts of, the more polluting modes of transportation and encourage more use of those modes which are less environmentally harmful.
