title: The simulation of a toll-ring scheme for Madrid: an efficiency and equity analysis.
ispublished: pub
subjects: transporte
abstract: Among the interurban road pricing policies, the metropolitan  road tolling policies need to be  differently analyzed because of its specific characteristics. In fact, the urban and metropolitan  areas intercept most of the daily journeys which contribute to congestion and which are very  sensible to the toll because of their daily frequency.   The mobility survey developed on the Madrid Metropolitan Area shows that from 1996 to  2004 the number of mechanized trips increased by 52%, whereas the population increased  only by 14%. An efficient way to manage the increasing car travel demand could be the  implementation of a metropolitan toll in the more congested road sections. One of the most  popular “congestion pricing policies” is the  toll-ring scheme used in Norwey (such as  Trondheim and Bergen) and in Stockholm, where the vehicles are taxed when entering or  exiting the city centre, especially during peak periods. In fact, a toll-ring scheme discourages  orbital diversions, achieving higher efficiency and environmental benefits.   A methodology to evaluate the implementation of a congestion pricing policy like a toll-ring  scheme in a metropolitan area like Madrid during the peak hour will be defined. The main  result of the paper is in terms of the equity effects. The comparison of two different road  sections shows that in the wealthier metropolitan area, the north of the M40 ring, the burden  of the toll is higher on the lower income users.
