The objectives of this research project carried out within the frame of the EU Environmental Research Programme were the following: A) Providing a method to calculate avoidance costs of air pollution, climate change and noise caused by transport in the EU. B) Discussing possible instruments for internalisation, assesing some selected instruments in more detail and discussing the use of avoidance cost assessments for internalisation.

In the last two decades freight transport has substantially grown: Between 1970 and 1990 the volume of tonne-kilometres (tkm) has increased by more than 50%. Figure S-1 shows that first of all road freight transport has profited from this growth. The completion of the internal market will cause a further growth of freight transport. According to the White Book of the Commission an enormous increase is expected: "As to the future, forecasts of growth in transprot demand show that in a "business as usual" secenario with a reasonably favourable economic climate the expansion of the road sector is likely to be buoyant: a near doubling of road transport demand of both passengers and freight seems likely." Without policy measures to reduce the harmful emissions most serious effects on the environment and on human health are to be expected. One such measure could be a mileage charge as described in the following sections.
