ForschungAbgeschlossene ProjekteAuswirkungen einer Internalisierung externer Kosten des Verke hrs in Sachsen This project is the final one in a series of research projects that aimed at designing a policy package that is effective for reducing environmental effects of transport as well as acceptable to the public and politicians for the German Federal State Saxony. The development process included the calculation of the current external costs of transport for the case study area. These costs can be seen as a mirror of the environmental impacts of transport which are transformed to monetary units. Second, a package of policy measures was designed to reduce these external costs and the environmental effects behind them. Third, the effectiveness of the policy package to reduce the environmental effects was assessed. This was done by modelling the impacts of the policy package and comparing them with a Business-As-Usual-scenario (BAU). The BAU-scenario is based on the assumption that no significant changes in transport policy will be implemented. The comparison between both scenarios also illustrates the savings for the economy if the policy package is implemented. Finally, the public and political acceptability of the policy package was assessed. The results show that it is possible to develop a policy package that is effective for reducing the environmental impacts as well as acceptable to the public and politicians. Therefore, such a package approach is suitable to guide future political decisions and actions towards a more sustainable transport sector.
