私家车出行给数以百万计的司机和乘客带来了巨大的利益，但它的崛起也给社会带来了巨大的社会和环境成本。这使得许多规划者对汽车在社会中，特别是在城市中的适当作用产生了深刻的矛盾心理。其结果是，计划和政策旨在促进汽车的使用，并鼓励以其他方式旅行，在所有情况下，阻止旅行者支付，甚至意识到，他们的旅行的真实成本。但现在，现成的技术可以很容易地以接近边际社会成本的价格为许多交通方式定价，这一变化将改善交通流量，减少排放，并增加城市中步行、骑自行车、拼车和公共交通的使用。虽然改善运输定价的政治障碍仍然令人生畏，但规划者今天有真正的机会开始将运输定价纳入规划实践。
Abstract Private vehicle travel has conferred enormous benefits on many millions of drivers and their passengers, but its rise to dominance has also imposed significant social and environmental costs on society. This has caused a profound ambivalence among many planners over the proper role for automobiles in society, particularly in cities. The results are plans and policies that aim both to facilitate automobile use and to encourage travel by other means, in all cases shielding travelers from paying, or even perceiving, the true cost of their travel. But off-the-shelf technologies now make it easy to price many transportation modes at close to marginal social cost, a change that would improve traffic flow, reduce emissions, and increase walking, biking, carpooling, and transit use in cities. While the political obstacles to better transportation pricing remain daunting, planners today have real opportunities to begin weaving transportation pricing into planning practice.
