Goals and objectives
The overall objective of the PRoGR€SS (2000 - 2004) project is "to demonstrate and evaluate the effectiveness and acceptance of integrated urban transport pricing schemes to achieve transport goals and raise revenue."
Existing research has focused on theoretical studies with limited demonstration. The remaining questions on acceptance and effectiveness can only now be answered with larger scale demonstration and experimentation in order to test pricing schemes in real-life situations. The results from these demonstrations need to support policy development and provide guidance on effective implementation and exploitation of the transport pricing concept.
The overall objective of the PRoGR€SS project will be achieved by focusing on the following project goals: to provide effective co-ordination between the demonstration sites, and with the thematic network CUPID; to develop and demonstrate integrated urban transport pricing schemes, based on the concept of marginal-cost pricing, in real urban situations; to develop and assess the political, economic and social framework required for the implementation of urban transport pricing; to evaluate the impact and effectiveness of these demonstrations; to support the work of the thematic network by providing policy results at the local level; and, finally, to develop material for dissemination of the demonstration and evaluation results at the local and national level, and at the European level through the thematic network.
