Road pricing and Public Support: Evidence from a combined field and information provision experiment 1: Institute of Transport Economics; 2: Oslo Metropolitan University We conduct a large-scale randomized controlled trial to examine the effects of time- and place-specific road pricing on travel behavior and driving externalities. Using financial incentives and a smartphone app automatically tracking participants' travel behavior across transport modes, we randomize about 3,000 drivers into control, road pricing, and road pricing with subsidy for walking and cycling groups. Results indicate a 5% reduction in driving externalities, with estimated price elasticity of driving ranging from -0.08 to -0.15. Reductions in driving were primarily observed among non-electric vehicle users during off-peak hours. We document evidence of mode shifting to biking in RPS. Furthermore, we investigate factors affecting changes in public support for a road pricing policy. Findings reveal that an information treatment about the expected benefits of road pricing and experience with road pricing combined with a subsidy both improve policy support for road pricing. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of road pricing to reduce driving externalities and highlight the role of information provision and experience to increase public support. | |
