AbstractThis academic case study investigated the potential implementation of a road-user charging cordon in the Lake District National Park, examining the response of three distinct stakeholder groups: visitor, resident and business operator, to the imposition of road-user charges. Monetary preferences were elicited from all three stakeholders grouping’s using a mail-back questionnaire incorporating a contingent valuation method scenario. In conclusion, road-user charging was deemed an impracticable transport demand management strategy for the Lake District National Park due to the potential equity costs exceeding road network efficiency gains.
