Unification of accounts and marginal costs for transport efficiency

Objective

Fair and efficient pricing of transport infrastructure use is a fundamental aspect of developing a sustainable transport policy that takes account of the full social costs and benefits of transport. UNITE will supply policymakers with the framework and state-of-the-art cost estimates to progress this policy.

UNITE has three core objectives:
1) to develop pilot transport accounts for all modes, EU15 and additional countries;
2) to provide a comprehensive set of marginal cost estimates relevant to transport contexts around Europe; and
3) deliver a framework for integration of accounts and marginal costs, consistent with the overall role of transport taxation in the economy.

These objectives will be achieved by a European research team comprising many of the world s leaders in developing and implementing state-of-the-art estimation techniques.
