The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Getting the Prices Right (2013, unknown): “Goodwin (1989 and 1997), Small (1992), and King, Manville, and Shoup (2007) emphasize that the use of the revenue from charges on cars (either from congestion tolls or parking meters) strongly affects both the equity and political popularity of the charges.”
Public acceptance for environmental taxes: Self-interest, environmental and distributional concerns (2011, background): “King et al. (2007) does not agree fully, and argues that “the idea that a policy cannot be approved in the absence of popular support is at odds with the way policies are actually advanced.””
Compactness versus Sprawl (2015, background): “…internalize external costs of auto use, and thereby discourage sprawl, makes all sorts of sense, if political resistance to user charges can be overcome, for example, if arrangements can be worked where local governments get to share the revenue from road pricing (King, Manville, and Shoup 2007).”
Equity Effects of Road Pricing: A Review (2010, background): “Strategies developed with the local community may help find appropriate compensation solutions, such as suggested by King et al. (2007), to these problems to enable pricing to be perceived as equitable, politically acceptable and remain efficient.”
