Further support for road pricing welcomed

Chair of the UK Commission for Integrated Transport Peter Hendy, commenting on new guidance issued by the DFT today, said:

"All the research we have done, including evidence from around the world, makes clear that road pricing is the most effective way to manage traffic properly in the UK's congested towns and cities. This guidance is an important further step towards that goal and should really encourage other parts of the country to follow the successful example of London. The support for boosting public transport - which London needed for its scheme to work - is particularly welcome."
