Overview
Reduction of congestion, economic and transport growth and a positive impact on climate change – the right road user charging (RUC) schemes can deliver all this. Furthermore, technological advances provide further stimulus to road user charging projects. Notwithstanding all this, getting such schemes operational can still be fraught with difficulties.
Road User Charging 2010 is an event where market participants and decision makers (public authorities, suppliers, operators and consultants) can gather to find solutions to the successful launch and implementation of RUC projects. The event will include:
An update by the European Commission on the latest policy proposals and the implications for your RUC schemes

The latest developments in European HGV tolling, including examples from the innovative Slovakian scheme
How to measure and prove the environmental and socio-economic benefits delivered by RUC
