16. Abstract

Institutional issues provide challenges to implementing congestion pricing strategies. The primer explores the types of institutional issues that are commonly encountered with priced lanes, zone-based pricing, and parking pricing programs.  These issues include the up-front challenges of establishing leadership, meeting legislative requirements, and setting an organizational structure.  Once the challenges are overcome, there are numerous institutional issues related to the planning process, public involvement and implementation procedures.  The primer examines these topics with the insights gained from case study applications around the United States and Europe.
