200 page report on the future of financing French transport infrastructure just dropped
ecologie.gouv.fr/sites/default…
Some controversial stuff in there including higher property tax in areas with good public transport and a new tax on high speed rail tickets
My favourite titbit though is that the SNCF makes use of its capital stock so dreadfully that just opening local train contracts up to competition can reduce costs per km by 30% - almost down to German levels
1/2
I love this: «higher property tax in areas with good public transport».
Finland (or mostly #Helsinki) does this indirectly, by preserving public ownership of land even when it's built. People who buy homes in areas of the city which get more valuable thanks to public infrastructure, including public transport, eventually have to pay higher rent (or property taxes) for the land their building uses.
@nemobis yeah, it seems better than the versement mobilité which assumes the people who benefit most from public transport are the people who work in cities
changes to the taxe foncière would make sure e.g. people with a pied à terre in central Paris pay their fair share too
