ASSESSMENT AND INTERNALISATION APPROACHES FOR THE EXTERNAL CONGESTION COSTS

Christina Nikolova

The report proposes a methodological framework for the economic and social assessment of the external costs caused by transport congestion at national level, using the internalization approach. The proposed framework adds to existing theory some new perspectives based on a holistic socioeconomic approach, taking into account existing methodologies for estimating the external costs of transport. It ensures transparency and allows for proper justification of effective measures to reduce and limit congestion, thus ensuring sustainable and efficient development of the transport system. The application of the approach has been empirically tested and on this basis a proposal has been made to use the results of the analyses for the purpose of prioritizing policy measures for sustainable development based on potential savings for society.
