Objectives

There are three almost fundamental objectives using road pricing:

1. Congestion relief - improving mobility

2. Environment - reducing air pollution and CO2 emmisions

3. Revenue - improving infrastructure and public transport

Across Europe different road pricing schemes uses different objectives. Congestion relief is almost always mentioned as an objective. Environmental protection was a key objective in Stockholm. Revenue generation to support other strategy elements was important in London and Stockholm and was the principal objective of Norwegian schemes.
