Hi new followers!
Most of y'all probably found me on transpo packs! I do it professionally, have on occasion been called an expert on certain things, & it's a passion not just a job.
But I rarely have much to add that others haven't already said. So mostly I post shower thoughts & irreverence.

Exciting road pricing news out of Denmark!
Today a new expert group for designing the future car taxation was announced, with a focus on the externalities from cars.
See the terms of reference below. I will soon follow up with a piece on why I think it actually can lead to GPS-based road pricing.

This is going to be hell for transportation agencies' automated enforcement programs.
