Road Pricing: Travel Behavior and Public Support 1: Institute of Transport Economics, Norway; 2: Oslo Metropolitan University and ETH Zurich Using a large-scale randomized field experiment, we study behavioral responses to and public support for Pigouvian road pricing. Leveraging financial incentives, we find that drivers subject to distance-based charges reflecting external costs of driving—varying by location, time, and vehicle type—reduce their driving-related externalities by 5.3%, corresponding to a price elasticity between –0.07 and –0.15, with much weaker effects among users of battery-electric vehicles (BEVs). Furthermore, providing information on the expected benefits of road pricing enhances public support for such policies, whereas experience with road pricing has little impact. | |
