Paying for the Fixed Costs of Roads

Journal of Transport Economics and Policy, 2005, vol. 39, issue 3, 279-294

Abstract: This paper explores alternative financing mechanisms to pay for the fixed costs of roads, particularly in cases without rising marginal costs. Mechanisms considered include tolls, gasoline taxes, and developer payments. The problems with each are discussed. An example looking at problems of temporal and spatial free-riding is presented. © 2005 LSE and the University of Bath
