Mileage-Based User Fee Demonstration Project: Pay-As-You-Drive Experimental Findings

One hundred drivers were enlisted in a project that simulated the replacement of some of the fixed costs of driving, such as lease costs and insurance, with variable costs to give consumers explicit price signals about travel decisions and alternatives. The results indicate that per mile pricing does result in measurable, but small reductions in driving. (Related to reports 2006-39B and 2006-39C)
