Transportation policy tools
Transportation, as one of the largest sectors of the U.S. economy, has many societal benefits but a number of drawbacks — air, water and noise pollution; accident-related fatalities of motorists, pedestrians and others; time lost in traffic. Getting the price individuals pay to reflect driving’s true cost to society is one of the most significant challenges of public policy.
