With continuing growth in urban congestion, many European cities are considering some form of road pricing, either to directly limit demand, or to raise revenue to increase capacity through environmentally sensitive but expensive road schemes. In behavioral terms, the problem is that one knows very little about the ways in which motorists might respond to direct road user charges - particularly those that vary by time of day. The objective of the study was to assess the response of car drivers to a proposed toll ring in Trondheim, using a stated preference survey technique. The paper briefly describes the setting of Trondheim and the toll ring proposals and outlines the design of the stated preference instrument, which was based on a customized mailback approach integrated with a city-wide travel diary survey. The results of the survey are then briefly described and some preliminary choice modelling results are presented. The paper concludes with an assessment of the success of the approach adopted and discusses possible future developments.
