Modal shift is an important policy for the reduction of the environmental load from transport sector. One possible policy is the introduction of a financial framework in which revenues of added fuel tax can be used for railway improvement. Such policies are being implemented in some countries at present.
The feasibility, cost, and effect of the proposed policy are estimated. It is found that this framework can help solve some of the problems encountered due to the implementation of current fuel tax and railway improvement policies.
