Transportation Finance Publications

The Road Pricing in an Urban Context (2009) briefing provides an overview of the context, elements, issues and challenges regarding road pricing, plus an outline of potential groundbreaking initiatives.

"Innovations in Financing Urban Transportation", was compiled by the FSC and produced in June 2002 as a TAC Briefing describing three specific financing models as applied in Vancouver, Calgary/Edmonton and Montreal.

References to transportation financing are found in one of the earliest TAC Briefings. In "A New Vision for Urban Transportation" published in 1993, a number of decision-making principles were listed including number 13: Funding/Financing that focused on creating new ways for paying for future urban transportation systems.

The 1997 TAC Briefing "Financing Urban Transportation" expanded on Principle 13 noted above by outlining a model and methods by which urban areas could finance their urban transportation infrastructure.
