[Niklas Sieber]

Lieber Herr Rothengatter

ich habe diese mail gestern von einem Verteiler erhalten. Vielleicht 
interessieren Sie sich fuer die Dokumente. 

Leider kann ich zur Weihnachstfeier nicht kommen, weil ich erst am 
21. nach Hamburg fliege. Aber im Fruehjahr werde ich mit Jan ein 
Seminar veranstalten und deshalb nach Karlsruhe kommen. Ansonsten 
steht meine Einladung in London noch aus.

Viele Gruesse an die Familie und die Assis des IWW.

>  This 130-page information document explains what transportation pricing
>  is and how transportation pricing programs can lead to reduced emissions,
>  and includes examples of pricing programs that have been undertaken in the
>  United States.  It explains how and why pricing strategies can be very

>  of market innovations to improve air quality while also creating many
>  other environmental and social benefits. The document also discusses some
>  of the issues that will face an agency that decides to undertake a pricing
>  program, such as institutional relationships, public involvement and
>  acceptance, and equity in transportation pricing programs.
