Congestion is a Challenge
•
•
•
•
•
New congestion charging ring was mentioned in the
founding document of the new left wing government
Income to be used for better and cheaper public transport
Polls showed a majority of Copenhagen citizens accepted
congestion charging
Resistance was significant from politicians and citizens
outside the CC area
Experts argued for road pricing
•
Result: The idea was dropped after a long and excited
public debate
•
Instead:
– 70 mio. euro annually for fare reductions
– 70 mio. euro annually for improved service
– A Congestion Committee to come up with alternatives
Environment has to be Improved

•
•
EU White Paper has ambitious goals for
reducing CO2

environmental impact from transport

technology is cheap and reliable
