Emne: Invitation to a two-day event on Congestion Charging in Stockholm on May 29-30 2007.

We would like to draw your attention to a seminar on the implementation of congestion charging on May 30, 2007. The location is Stockholm where the charges will be introduced permanently later this year. You find the final program attached. The seminar is free of charge.

 

If you haven’t already done so please register by sending an email to Annika Nilsson: [email protected] no later than May 21st. If you are not interested yourself, but know of someone that might be, you are welcome to forward this email. The seminar is intended for practitioners and policy makers from cities or regions that have, are going to, are discussing to, or have failed to implement congestion charging. For more information, contact Annika Nilsson.

 

Impact is a part of TransportMistra – a Swedish research program financed by Mistra. Impact’s objective is to develop, disseminate, market and implement knowledge, tools and models that will support decision making for sustainable mobility, primarily by increasing implementation efficiency. Impact’s research design builds on the collected wisdom of various disciplines brought in through the use of a selection of common focal points, and Stockholm congestion charging is one of them. For more information, see www.transportmistra.org .

 

The day before – May 29, 2007 – results from the Stockholm Congestion Charging Trial will be presented at a scientific conference arranged by the Royal Institute of Technology together with Impact. Researchers will present results on the design of the charging system, the design and outcome of the experiment, the monitoring process, the underlying political process and the changes in attitudes and opinions. You may also attend this conference. Please find invitation and programme attached.

 

Best wishes
