1 Electronic Tolls and Congestion Pricing Study
Transportation leadership you can trust. presented to Connecticut Transportation Strategy Board presented by Cambridge Systematics, Inc. Urbitran IBI Group Fitzgerald & Halliday, Inc. Sam Schwartz, PLLC September 18, 2008

2 Agenda Introductions and Consultant Team Goal, Work Plan, and Schedule
History of Tolling Modern Tolling Proposed Tolling and Pricing Concepts to Study Next Steps

3 Project Goal and Overview
Prepare a document that lays out as many options as possible, sets the context for informed decision-making and provides a knowledge base with respect to tolls and congestion pricing in Connecticut Areas of investigation Concept evaluation Traffic, revenue, cost Regional equity Economics Environment Safety Implementation evaluation Implementation steps Federal requirements Public-private partnerships (PPP) Privacy

4 Work Plan and Schedule Month Phase Identify Pricing Strategies and Potential Toll/Pricing Project Locations Implementation Considerations Institutional, Contractual, Procurement, PPP, Privacy, Public Acceptance Evaluation of Tolling and Pricing Strategies Traffic, Revenue, Cost, Equity, Economic, Environmental, Safety Final Report Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Meet with OPM Present to TSB Meet with Stakeholders (to be determined) Interim Phase Report Draft Final Report

6 Traditional Tolling in the U.S.
Toll roads in U.S. date back to the 18th century with more than 2,000 private roads and bridges 20th Century Bridges and tunnels Inter-city turnpikes – pre 1956 Interstate era Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut Regional toll authorities – mostly 1960s and on Dallas, Houston, Richmond, Miami, Tampa Common denominator Revenue stream pays off debt for expensive projects or systems of projects

7 Tolling in Connecticut 1790-1850 – Over 100 Private Turnpikes

8 Connecticut’s Modern Tolling History

9 U.S. Toll Roads, Bridges, and Tunnels 5,200+ miles
States with Toll Roads, Bridges, and/or Tunnels Source: International, Bridge, Tunnel, and Turnpike Association.

10 New Technology Brings New Opportunity

11 Policy Needs to Precede Projects
Types of Policy Motivations Funding Transportation System Efficiency Hybrid

12 Funding

13 Funding Motivation New Projects
Build new road, bridge, or tunnel Toll revenue pays – all or part – if part, how much? Remove tolls after debt is paid off? Build system of facilities Start with one project, leverage others over time (Dallas, Orlando) Cross subsidize Transit (New York City and San Francisco) Popular in high-growth states – TX, FL, CO Fertile ground for public- private partnership

14 Funding Motivation Public-Private Partnerships
Brownfields – Asset Monetization Chicago Skyway Lease Indiana Toll Road Northwest Parkway in Colorado Greenfields – Private Equity to Build New Projects Dulles Greenway in Virginia SR 91 Express in California Greenville Southern Connector in South Carolina

15 Transportation System Efficiency

16 System Efficiency Motivation Congestion Pricing Concept
Level of Service a.m. p.m. Time

17 Variable Pricing Static
Published time of day toll schedule Examples New York Bridges and Tunnels Orange County (CA) Transportation Corridor Agencies

18 Variable Pricing Dynamic
Toll changes frequently based on real time traffic conditions (California and Minnesota) Morning Peak Toll Rates on I-394 $0.00 $1.00 $2.00 $3.00 $4.00 $5.00 7:16 7:22 7:28 7:34 7:40 7:46 7:52 7:58 8:04 8:10

19 System Efficiency Motivation High Occupancy Toll (HOT) Lanes
Convert HOV lanes to HOT Lanes (I-394 Minneapolis) Optimize use of HOV lanes Costs relatively low Revenues relatively low A type of “managed lane”

20 Funding Transportation System Efficiency Hybrid

21 Hybrid Motivation – Funding plus Efficiency More Managed Lanes
Build new HOT lanes (I-95 in Miami) Multiple toll lanes in each direction Higher revenue potential Higher costs More opportunities to improve transit line-haul

22 Hybrid Motivation – Funding plus Efficiency More Managed Lanes (continued)
Express toll lanes HOV pay too Higher revenue potential, potentially self-supporting High opportunity to encourage transit Truck only toll (TOT) lanes Safety as well as congestion relief Significant design and operations issues

23 About Tolled Managed Lanes
Toll lanes depend on congestion!!! Bus rapid transit can take advantage of travel time reliability made possible by tolled managed lanes

24 Hybrid Motivation – Funding plus Efficiency The Next Generation
Price existing highways: Germany and Austria – trucks only Never tried in USA Being studied: Seattle, Federal Cordon or area tolling (London and Stockholm) Relieves intense CBD congestion Requires effective transit/walk/bike High operation cost

25 Hybrid Motivation – Funding plus Efficiency The Next Generation (continued)
Mileage-based pricing Experimental today but could replace fuel tax (Oregon) Technical and transition challenges Highest ultimate potential for revenue and management

26 Federal Initiatives Value Pricing Pilot Program
Originated as Congestion Pricing Program in 1991 Program to determine how pricing impacts congestion Urban Partnership Program $1 billion awarded in 2007 Increasing desire to link tolling and transit Seattle Minneapolis-St. Paul New York City Chicago San Francisco Los Angeles Miami

27 All Electronic Tolling (AET) How Does it Work?
No toll booths No stopping

28 Technology Key Elements
Roadside equipment On-board unit Back-office processing/administration

29 Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
E-ZPass Technology “Tag and beacon” Highway 407 – Toronto RFID + Video

30 Video Transport for London RUC – London, England Video only

31 Global Positioning System (GPS)
GPS Truck Tolling – Germany

32 How do you handle vehicles without on-board units?
Many options All involve video Pre registration, post registration, or no registration Customer payment options Credit card/bank account Cash -- prepaid

33 Public Opinion Around the U.S.
The public Wants value Learns from experience Cares about the use of revenues and wants tangible projects Believes in equity and wants fairness Wants simplicity and prefers tolls to taxes Majority of public support tolling Support falls as projects get complicated and private sector gets involved Source: NCHRP Synthesis 377.

34 Proposed Tolling and Pricing Concepts to Study

35 Proposed Concepts to Study
Funding Motivation New highways? Proposed Concepts to Study

36 Proposed Concepts to Study
Funding Motivation Toll new lanes or toll all lanes I-95: Branford – RI Line I-84: Waterbury – NY Line Beyond these projects, explore policy to toll all future reconstruction Proposed Concepts to Study

37 Proposed Concepts to Study Proposed Concepts to Study
Funding Motivation Border Tolling Funding Motivation Border Tolling Proposed Concepts to Study Proposed Concepts to Study

38 Proposed Concepts to Study
Efficiency Motivation Convert HOV lanes to HOT lanes I-84 and I-91 Proposed Concepts to Study

39 Proposed Concepts to Study
Efficiency Motivation Convert existing shoulders to HOT Lanes Proposed Concepts to Study

40 Proposed Concepts to Study
Hybrid – Funding + Efficiency Motivation Identify congested corridors; price to relieve congestion and fund improvements Proposed Concepts to Study

41 Proposed Concepts to Study
Hybrid – Funding + Efficiency Motivation Toll all limited access highways Proposed Concepts to Study

42 Proposed Concepts to Study
Hybrid – Funding + Efficiency Motivation Toll all miles driven in the state Proposed Concepts to Study

43 Next Steps

44 Work Plan and Schedule Month Phase Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Identify Pricing Strategies and Potential Toll/Pricing Project Locations Implementation Considerations Institutional, Contractual, Procurement, PPP, Privacy, Public Acceptance Evaluation of Tolling and Pricing Strategies Traffic, Revenue, Cost, Equity, Economic, Environmental, Safety Final Report Meet with OPM Present to TSB Meet with Stakeholders (to be determined) Interim Phase Report Draft Final Report Final Report
