| Abstract: | The United States and Canada lag Europe and Singapore in implementing road pricing on a large scale.
But the two countries have shown interest in tolling roads as a way to curb congestion and to generate
revenues. The US is funding congestion pricing demonstration projects through its Value Pricing Pilot
Program, and Canada has examined new ways to charge for road use and to finance road construction and
maintenance. This paper reviews the current state of road pricing and funding in the two countries. The
prospects for extensive road pricing appear to be brighter in the US than in Canada. |
