ETC, etc is a magazine that looks at not just the technology but also the policy, strategy, political, aesthetic, urban design, environmental, interoperability and public acceptance issues that make the electronic toll collection, road pricing and road user charging sector one of the most, if not THE most, vibrant and rapidly evolving in the advanced transportation management industry.

WHY

Road pricing is an increasingly global, albeit thorny, issue and the May 2006 publication of the US Department of Transportation's 'National Strategy To Reduce Congestion On America's Transportation Network' white paper has highlighted just how seriously governments the world over are taking it.

Former US Secretary of Transportation, Norman Y Mineta, echoing similar governmental approaches in Europe and South-East Asia in particular, described congestion as "one of the single largest threats to our economic prosperity and way of life" and points out the staggering statistic that Americans lose 3.7bn hours and waste 2.3bn gallons of fuel sitting in traffic jams each year. So, if the governments are taking it this seriously, so should we. ETC, etc is the magazine that this naturally evolutionary industry has been waiting for.
