Review
. . . this book provides a comprehensive and timely discussion of the relationships between road pricing and congestion costs. -- Brian Graham, Local Environment
...a valuable addition to the literature on the subject...gives considerable emphasis to practical aspects of the debate and alternatives to this raft of measures. -- Austin Smyth and Julian Hine, Journal of Transport Geography
I would recommend this book to those concerned with the field and stress the usefulness of the last section. -- David Pitfield, Environment and Planning B
