Abstract: The paper describes the research conducted by the authors concerning the opinion of transportation users about the fairness of Time-of-Day pricing and discounts for users of Electronic Toll Collection technology and for frequent users of the toll facilities. To this effect, the authors analyzed attitudinal data collected from a sample of more than one thousand users, who provided their opinions about the fairness of using pricing to reduce congestion and of providing such toll discounts. The authors conducted descriptive analyses of the data, and estimated ordinal discrete choice models, elasticities, and marginal effects to assess the significance of various socio-economic attributes of the respondents. The paper ends with a discussion of chief conclusions and policy implications.
