Scheme - Holland - Govt to pay Motorists to leave cars at home
UK - Google Groups/uk.rec.driving, uk.transport, by Conor/Transport News Network.-11 Oct 2005: -- The Dutch government plans to establish a pilot scheme under which 1,000 motorists will be rewarded for leaving their cars at home during the morning peak hours... Selected car owners will be paid between ¤$2 and ¤$5 not to use their vehicles on the A12 motorway between Zoetermeer and The Hague from 7am and 9am. Some of the volunteers may receive a navigation system as a reward... The Department of Waterways and Public Work said last Friday that the trial will begin in the first half of 2006 and will cost ¤$300,000... A similar experiment will be carried out on the northern ring around Amsterdam... A special chip will be placed in the car to monitor whether the motorist is using it secretly to get to work... If the trial is successful, the government will consider introducing the reward system on a nationwide basis to cut traffic jams...
