Abstract
Road pricing is a highly controversial topic. This paper studies the l imited social feasibility of road pricing from an empirical perspectiv e, on the basis of a large survey among morning peak road users in the Dutch Randstad area. A model is used to investigate how opinion on ro ad pricing varies with socio-economic and trip-related variables and o ther factors. The issue of tax revenue allocation and its impact on th e social feasibility of road pricing is discussed.
