Abstract:
With literature review and comparative analysis, the theoretical foundation for urban road congestion charging is analyzed. The successful experiences of congestion charging in London and Singapore are summarized. Some suggestions for congestion charging in China are proposed. The analysis indicates that congestion is one of the urgent problems faced by many large cities, which will lead to economic losses; implementation of congestion charging policy will help to optimize traffic resources allocation and increase social welfare; prior to implementation, however, the govement should do some preparatory work and develop scientific and rational implementation scheme, at the same time, the govement should develop public transport, ensure a fair use of toll revenue, and try hard to get understanding and support from the public, so as to guarantee the successful implementation of congestion charging policy.
