Policy transfer of public transport funding schemes – The case of Norway

Silvia Olsen and Nils Fearnley

Research in Transportation Economics, 2014, vol. 48, issue C, 429-433

Abstract: This paper assesses the circumstances under which the schemes and models of public transport funding in one country can be applied in another country. Acceptance and similarity are presented as key concepts when considering new PT funding measures. Norway is taken as an illustrative example in exploring the probability that a certain measure will be accepted, and what degree of similarity is necessary, if adopting new funding schemes from other countries is to be successful. Through this approach, we aim to explore how acceptance and similarity interact.
