4. Relocation due to road pricing
This section is split-up into two parts. The probabilities of changing the residential or work
location due to various types of road pricing measures are described in section 4.1.
Furthermore, section 4.2 focuses on explanatory variables for relocation chances due to a
kilometre charge.
4.1 Relocation probability (descriptive)
Two types of relocation probabilities have been studied: on one hand moving house to a
location closer to work and on the other hand searching for another job closer to the
residential location. Table 2 shows the probability of changing the residential location due to
different price measures. In total 5 measures are distinguished (see table 1 for a further
explanation). The probability of moving is measured by means of 7 categories. For each price
measure, the percentage of respondents that chose a certain probability category is reported.
For example in case of price measure 1, almost 72 percent of the respondents indicated that
the probability of moving house due to the measure is extremely low. Furthermore, the sums
of different categories (5 to 7 and 6 to 7) are shown at the bottom of the table. ‘Sum 5 to 7’
indicates per price measure the summation of the categories 5, 6 and 7; in the same line ‘Sum
6 to 7’ resembles the summation over the categories 6 and 7.
