[sustran] Economics of Traffic Congestion and TDM

[aables at adb.org]

Dear all,

Are you aware of studies/ figures on the economic costs of traffic 
congestion and the economic benefits from transport demand management 
measures, especially in Asia? We'd like to have some city data preferably 
based on actual examples to test the hypothesis that urban centers that 
invested on developing their transportation systems integrated to their 
urbanization development plans are doing better than others. 

The Clean Air Initiative for Asian Cities (CAI-Asia) has done a 
preliminary assessment of the resources on sustainable transport in Asia 
though the pilot project Partnership for Sustainable Urban Transport in 
Asia (PSUTA) (www.cleanairnet.org/psuta). The review showed that resources 
that deal with transport and economics, especially in Asia, are either not 
as many as we'd hope or are not readily available. 

We would appreciate receiving studies/ links/ referrals.

Thanks and regards,
Au
