The Alpine regions of the iMONITRAF! network have identified the need for a more targeted and harmonised pricing system in sensitive mountain areas: Toll Plus. The study helps to advance the implementation of the Toll Plus system and identifes possible regulations for regional transport.
The alpine regions of the iMONITRAF! network have identified the need for a more targeted and harmonised pricing system in sensitive mountain regions and propose the introduction of a Toll Plus System as an additional and differentiated pricing measure. Toll Plus is a mark-up on existing tolls on transalpine motorways, in line with European regulations (in particular the Eurovignette Directive). Previous work on Toll Plus has shown that local businesses in the Alpine region could be adversely affected by the increased tolls of a Toll Plus System.
Rapp has contributed to the next step of the Toll Plus design by investigating possibilities for special regulations that reduce the economic burden of a Toll Plus System for regional traffic. Based on a study of examples of schemes in Europe that could serve as a template or inspiration for the definition of exemption rules for regional traffic, and on an analysis of data on heavy goods traffic crossing the Alps, several recommendations were developed.
