[sustran] Re: Nomination for the WTN 2004 Environment Prize - Ken Livingston and the London road pricing crew

[John Ernst]

Dear Eric and all,

Jakarta is one city that has already been influenced by the road pricing 
scheme in London.  A few weeks ago, Mrs. D.A. Rini, Head of Planning for 
the Jakarta Transportation Department, looked into the systems in Singapore 
and London and gave a presentation favoring London's scheme.

Jakarta was considering a road pricing system well before London -- and 
nearly implemented one in the late 1990's.  However, the success of the 
London system has clearly rekindled interest in Jakarta.

Best regards,
John
