Expertise: Road User Charging and Workplace Parking Levy
Road
user charging and workplace parking levy are both fiscal measures that can
be used to influence traffic demand. Road user charging (RUC) involves charging
drivers directly for road use - particularly at congested times and places.
In urban areas, it is sometimes known as congestion charging. A workplace
parking levy (WPL) scheme involves charging employers a levy related to their
provision of parking space for workers and business visitors. This levy may
be passed on to employees.
