This study develops a model of road congestion tolling with redistribution of toll revenue. The model is then applied to users of motorcycle, ordinary car, advanced car and bus in the Taipei metropolitan transportation corridor including Tucheng district, Banqiao district, and Taipei central business district. We analyze the trips of modes, congestion toll, net benefit (indicating efficiency), and net benefit inequity coefficient (indicating equity). Three scenarios are analyzed: no congestion tolling, congestion tolling and congestion tolling with revenue distribution. It is shown that the scenario of congestion tolling yields the highest net benefit and the lowest equity. The scenario of congestion tolling with toll revenue redistribution can lessen the inequity but lower the efficiency. Comparing two kinds of revenue redistribution, the subsidy to two groups of low-income users will yield higher efficiency and higher equity than the subsidy to only one group of the lowest income users. |
