The Stockholm congestion tax ((スウェーデン語:Trängselskatt i Stockholm)), also referred to as the Stockholm congestion charge, is a congestion pricing system implemented as a tax levied on most vehicles entering and exiting central Stockholm, Sweden. The congestion tax was implemented on a permanent basis on August 1, 2007, after a seven-month trial period between January 3, 2006 and July 31, 2006. The primary purpose of the congestion tax is to reduce traffic congestion and improve the environmental situation in central Stockholm.〔 The funds collected will be used for new road constructions in and around Stockholm.〔 A referendum was held in September 2006, a few months after the end of the trial period. In the referendum the residents of Stockholm municipality voted yes and in 14 other municipalities voted no to implement it permanently. On October 1, 2006, the leaders of the winning parties in the 2006 general election, declared they would implement the Stockholm congestion tax permanently. The Riksdag approved this on June 20, 2007, and the congestion tax came into effect on August 1, 2007.〔〔 ==Affected area== The congestion tax area encompasses essentially the entire Stockholm City Centre, which includes Södermalm, Norrmalm, Östermalm, Vasastaden, Kungsholmen, Stora Essingen, Lilla Essingen and Djurgården. There are unmanned electronic control points (in Swedish: , literally ''payment station'')〔 at all entrances to this area. The congestion tax is applied on both entry and exit of the affected area.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stockholm congestion tax」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
