Case studies of professional influence on congestion pricing policiesGilbert, Paul A. January 2004 (has links)
The thesis provides a brief introduction to congestion pricing's theoretical roots and the history of its application. It derives the essential paradigms of the two professions that implement pricing schemes, planners and engineers, from their respective ethical codes and professional policies and applies them to three case studies. This is done to determine the professions roles and to indicate the interaction of the professions in the cases. The three cases were chosen due to their uniqueness and recent application. Lastly, the historical data, derived paradigms, and information from the case studies is assembled, compared, and contrasted to form a model for congestion pricing implementation. The model details actions that planners can take to influence congestion pricing implementation by addressing funding and public acceptability issues at both the federal and local levels. The model can be used by planners, engineers, and decision makers alike to increase the effectiveness of pricing schemes and to make better informed decisions regarding congestion pricing in their community. / Department of Urban Planning

Potential single-occupancy vehicle demand for the Katy Freeway and Northwest Freeway high-occupancy vehicle lanesXu, Lei 30 October 2006 (has links)
Since the 1960âÂÂs, high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes have been successfully used as a
travel demand management technique. In recent years, there has been a growing interest
in the use of high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes as an alternative to HOV lanes to help
manage the increasing demand for travel. HOT lanes combine pricing and vehicle
occupancy restrictions to optimize the demand for HOV lanes. As two of the four HOT
lanes in the world, the HOT lane facilities in Houston, Texas received relatively low
patronage after operating for over 6 years on the Katy Freeway and over 4 years on the
Northwest Freeway. There existed an opportunity to increase the usage of these HOT
lanes by allowing single-occupancy vehicle (SOV) travelers to use the lanes, for an
appropriate toll. The potential SOV demand for HOV lane use during the off-peak
periods from the Katy Freeway and Northwest Freeway general-purpose lane (GPL)
travelers was estimated in this study by using the data collected from a 2003 survey of
travelers on the Katy and Northwest Freeway GPLs who were not enrolled in
QuickRide. Based on survey results, more travelers would choose to drive on the HOT lanes
as SOV travelers during the off-peak periods when the facilities provided higher travel
time savings and charged lower tolls. Two important factors influencing travelersâ use
of the HOV lanes were their value of travel time savings (VTTS) and penalty for
changing travel schedule (VPCS). It was found that respondents had VTTS
approximately 43 percent of their hourly wage rate and VPCS approximately 3 percent
of their hourly wage rate. Combining this information with current travel time savings
and available capacity on the HOV lanes, it was found that approximately 2000 SOV
travelers per day would pay an average toll of $2.25 to use the HOV lanes during the
off-peak periods.

The Rule of Choice: How economic theories from the 1950s became technologically embedded, politically contested urban policy in New York City from 2002-2013West, John Haynal January 2016 (has links)
To rule through choice is to create differentiated options for urban citizens who use public infrastructure and to produce information and price signals that guide decisions. It treats urban residents as rational consumers of public goods. Economists, planners and activists developed the rhetoric and tools of choice over the course of a half-century. This strategy moved from the fringes of planning and policy making to become widely accepted and adopted. How did this manifestation of choice become central to urban policy? What are the consequences of policies that emphasize individual choice? What can be done to make them conform to the ethical standards of planning? The dissertation that follows focuses on the origins and development of choice-based policy-making and the public dispute over it in New York City. Two cases elucidate the rule of choice. School choice and congestion pricing were signature policies for New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg (2002- 2013). In the 1950s two economists, William Vickrey and Milton Friedman, translated fundamental principles in that discipline into policy proposals in education and transportation governance. When the Bloomberg administration sought to govern education and roadway infrastructure through choice, this strategy became the source of public debate and deliberation. The history and contemporary politics of the two cases provide material for reflecting on core theoretical issues in planning, including the changing nature of liberalism, the meanings and uses of data and rationality and the role of the material world in producing and recreating modes of engaging with urban problems.
