: Prof Michiel Bliemer: The need for a road-user charge to raise funds and affect behaviour
David Brown talks to Professor Michiel Bliemer from the University of Sydney’s Institute of Transport & Logistics Studies. I caught up with Professor Bliemer and asked him about the need for a road user pay tax as a policy initiative in order to acquire funds but also affect transport demand.

About Author
David Brown
David Brown started his working life as a Civil Engineer but you would not want him to design a bridge you wanted to safely walk over. His passion was in traffic engineering and transport planning which is all about how we use our transport systems not how we build them. He soon became involved in commenting on issues through all avenues of the media. He is now a motoring and transport journalist. He test drives a new car each week but his ultimate measure of how good a car is relies on his 12 year old and the Hayden Brown “Will you drive me to school in that car” factor.
