Argues that urban transport economists should be less preoccupied with congestion pricing as the way of alleviating urban traffic congestion and should devote more of their attention to the study of policies that operate at a more microscopic scale--the scale at which urban transport policy decisions are made.
"The book's combined analysis of parking and traffic is an important theoretical breakthrough. The results show how properly priced on-street parking can greatly reduce traffic congestion and produce substantial public revenue. This 'double dividend' from charging the right price for parking is exceptionally promising for both transportation and fiscal policy."--Donald Shoup, Professor of Urban Planning, University of California, Los Angeles
