The Stockholm Trial
The Stockholm County Council implemented a trial to improve access on the busiest roads, to reduce emissions and to improve street-level environment perceived by people in the inner city. The trial consisted of three parts: extended public transport, congestion tax and park-and-ride sites in the city and the county. The road charging system resulted in a reduction in road use and emissions. This will on the longer term result in 27 premature deaths avoided.
