ROAD TOLL AS A TOOL FOR INTERMODAL SHIFTS IN FREIGHT TRANSPORT

This work analyzes the role of road tolls in the context of intermodal shifts in freight transport in Poland. It focuses on the use of road tolls as a tool to support sustainable transport development and reduce the negative impact on the environment. This monograph is a valuable source of knowledge for professionals from the transport industry, economists and policy makers interested in optimizing transport systems.

• Analysis of the role of road tolls in transport
• Concepts supporting intermodal shifts
• Examples of European toll systems
• Secondary and own research in the context of Poland
• Proposals for a toll system that promotes the goals of the paradigm

The monograph consists of five chapters, which discuss in detail various aspects of road tolls and their impact on transport. The first two chapters provide a theoretical introduction, presenting the role of road tolls in the modern economy and the EU paradigm of intermodal shift. The following chapters analyze European toll systems and present the results of own research, which form the basis for the proposal of a toll system in Poland.

This work is particularly relevant in the context of the pursuit of sustainable transport and the reduction of CO2 emissions. Road tolls can be an effective tool in promoting intermodal transport, which combines various modes of transport such as road, rail and water transport. This makes it possible to reduce road congestion and reduce the negative impact of transport on the environment.
