Pricing Schemes

User acceptability has become a critical issue for the successful implementation of transport pricing measures and policies. Although several studies have addressed the public acceptability of road pricing, little evidence can be found of the effects of pricing strategies. The acceptability of alternative schemes for a toll network already in operation is an issue to be tackled. This paper contributes to the limited literature in this field by exploring perceptions toward road-pricing schemes among toll road users. On the basis of a nationwide survey of toll road users in Spain, the study developed several binomial logit models to analyze user acceptability of three approaches: express toll lanes, a time-based pricing approach, and a flat fee (vignette) system. The results show notable differences in user acceptability by the type of charging scheme proposed. Express toll lanes were more acceptable by travelers who perceived greater benefits from saving travel time. The acceptability of time-based approaches (peak versus off-peak) decreased for users who felt forced to use the toll road, whereas this was not an aspect that significantly influenced users’ support for flat fee schemes. In addition, a flat fee strategy was more acceptable for long-distance trips and truck drivers who regularly used the toll facilities. The results from this analysis can inform policy makers and planners for the promotion of more efficient, socially inclusive, and publicly acceptable road-pricing schemes.

Pricing Schemes

Roads congestion pricing has been considered as an effective solution following the successful implementation of such programs by many cities such as Singapore, Stockholm, and London. In multiple cases, congestion pricing projects have not been implemented, and multitudinous industrialized countries’ governments are struggling to find an effective and satisfactory way of introducing congestion pricing schemes that will not be affected by the public’s negative opinion and resistance. The lack of political and public acceptability can, therefore, be blamed for the nonimplementation of many congestion pricing projects in many cities around the world. This paper reviews eight cases where congestion pricing schemes were implemented or rejected, as well as the major influencing factors that enable congestion pricing introduction and acceptability by road users, discusses public and political acceptance of urban road pricing, and provides a valuable guideline for policy and decision-makers.

Electronic payment is increasing inexorably as a means of paying for the use of toll roads worldwide. However, it is necessary to increase the effectiveness and expediency of this mechanism, as well as improve policy issues such as privacy or data management. The state of the art in this field typically analyzes users’ perceptions and willingness to pay to use toll roads. However, research addressing drivers’ attitudes toward the use of electronic toll collection (ETC) systems is not sufficiently developed. The aim of this paper is to identify the explanatory variables influencing toll road users’ use of ETC technologies. For that purpose, based on a nationwide survey directed toward road users of interurban toll roads in Spain, a binomial logit model was developed to explore users’ attitudes toward the use of ETC systems. The research concludes that drivers’ tag ownership is related mainly to trip-related attributes, while personal socioeconomic characteristics play a minor role. In addition, free tags would be an effective policy measure to increase toll road use, given that a majority of respondents show a positive response.

Road casualties are discussed from a worldwide perspective. More than 80% of annual traffic casualties occur in developing and emerging countries in Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, sub-Saharan Africa, and the Middle East. Vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and bicyclists are a major road safety problem in these countries. In Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, and the Middle East, more than 40% of annual road fatalities involve pedestrians compared with less than 20% in Europe and the United States. The focus of this study is South Africa’s strategy to promote the safety of vulnerable road users. The extent of casualties among vulnerable road users and contributing factors are highlighted. Over the last decade, pedestrian fatalities have gradually and steadily declined in South Africa. This study describes the various policies, strategies, and action plans developed and implemented by different government levels in South Africa to promote road traffic safety, particularly the safety of vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and bicyclists. Barriers to successful implementation are also pointed out. Apart from applying a holistic approach by involving all relevant disciplines, a coordinated and sustained effort of all government levels was encouraged. Joint-venture funding projects among different government levels was emphasized to improve hazardous pedestrian locations. The role of the private sector in South Africa to promote pedestrian safety is also discussed. Practical guidelines are presented for developing and emerging countries to promote the safety of vulnerable road users.

Public Satisfaction Index (PSI) is calculated based on Regulation of Minister the Empowerment of State Apparaturs Number 14 year 2017 concerning Guidelines for preparing public satisfaction survey. The result show that PSI for policy of Becakayu Toll Tariff is 69.63, which include in C category (less satisfaction), this is caused by the service element which is considered to be inadequate is Cost/Tariff compared to other service elements that get the lowest interval value of 2.36 (Dissatisfied). As the result for passing the Becakayu toll public  must expense more money and not comparable with the length of toll. Recommendation for this study ins Government should adjust the toll tariff by considesing the length, services quality, and publics capability, so that Becakayu toll tariff must be reduced or the length of Becakayu toll must be extended. The appropriate toll tariff range between Rp 5.000,00 to    Rp 10.000,00.Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi tingkat kepuasan pengguna jalan tol berkaitan dengan tarif yang ditetapkan Pemerintah tentang penetapan tarif Tol Becakayu (Bekasi-Cawang-Kampung Melayu) terhadap jumlah volume kendaraan yang melintas. Penelitian menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan menggunakan teknik survey melalui penyebaran koesioner. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan teknik purposive sampling dengan jumlah sampel 164 responden. Persepsi responden diukur dengan menggunakan skala likert 1-4. Indeks Kepuasan Masyarakat (IKM) dihitung berdasarkan Permen PAN Nomor 14 Tahun 2017 tentang Pedoman Penyusunan Survei Kepuasan Masyarakat. Hasil perhitungan menunjukkan bahwa IKM mengenai kebijakan tarif tol Becakayu sebesar 69,63 (termasuk dalam kategori nilai C atau Kurang Puas). Hal ini disebabkan oleh unsur pelayanan yang dinilai kurang baik adalah Biaya/Tarif dibanding unsur pelayanan lain yang mendapat nilai interval paling rendah yaitu 2,36 (Tidak Puas). Sehingga biaya yang dikeluarkan untuk menempuh jalan tol Becakayu dianggap terlalu mahal dan tidak sebanding dengan jarak tempuh jalan tol. Rekomendasi dalam penelitian ini adalah pemerintah harus menyesuaikan tarif tol dengan mempertimbangkan panjang tol, kualitas pelayanan serta kemampuan masyarakat sehingga tarif tol becakayu harus diturunkan atau panjang jalan tol Becakayu ditingkatkan. Kisaran harga yang dipandang sesuai adalah antara Rp 5.000,00 sampai dengan Rp. 10.000,00.Kata kunci :    Evaluasi Kebijakan, Indeks Kepuasan Masyarakat, Tol Becakayu, Tarif Tol

Various studies on the use of e-money have been conducted and most of them use the positivism approach, so that it is rarely found in the form of an exploration approach especially with regard to toll roads. The purpose of this study is to explore, describe and analyze people's perceptions in using e-money on the toll road in Makassar City. This study uses a semi-structured interview method in the process of collecting data in the analysis unit. The population of this study consists of three categories: toll road users and e-money users, e-money experts, and toll service providers with 10 participants to be interviewed. Data analysis method used is thematic analysis with the help of cross-case analysis. Based on the results of open coding, it can be concluded that e-money is one form of easy transactions and the use of e-money that is safe, efficient payment and saves time, e-money risk levels are lower. Meanwhile, the way to overcome the problem of using e-money on toll roads is to print and save transaction receipts, maintain e-money cards, make compensation, prepare officers, socialize, and register with vendors.
