  4. Why Congestion Management is as Important as Capacity (Reliability) 2007 Annual Mobility Report, TAMU

  5. Congestion Management Strategies • New Capacity (50% of delay today) • Systems Operations (Supply Management): re “incidents” (50% of delay) • Pricing (Demand Management): (percent of delay depends on extent of applications)

  6. Three Strategies for Congestion

  7. 2. Systems Operations Does Make a Difference Future options for the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways, NCHRP, 2007

  8. Leverage: Long-term Benefits(Interstate example) Future options for the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways, NCHRP, 2007

  10. Barriers to Improved Operations • Legacy Culture and organizations • Authorizing Environment • Fragmented jurisdictions • Trained Personnel • Dedicated Funding (now 1 % national = $1-2B)

  11. Funding Methods to Encourage Increased Systems Operations • Planning Requirements • Performance Reporting (reduced Oversight • Technology investment Higher funding match for operations • Dedicated program funds • Off- the top funding by performance • Service Target-based funding • Deliberate Interstate Policy

  12. Share per Source of Revenue Federal State Local Total Revenue (US$ in billion) (1) (2) (1) Source Motor Fuel Taxes 26.5 29.2 1.1 56.8 43% Vehicle Fees and Taxes 3.2 16.8 0.9 20.9 16% Tolls 0 5.6 0.9 6.6 5% Other Dedicated Taxes 0.3 3.5 11.6 15.4 12% General Fund Revenues 2.0 7.4 21.7 31.1 24% Total 32.1 62.5 36.1 130.7 100% 25% 48% 28% 100% 100% Share per Level of Government 3. Pricing :Tolls Account for 5% of Highway Revenue Other Dedicated Taxes include dedicated sales and property taxes and value capture revenues General Fund Revenues include income taxes, property taxes, general sales taxes, other valorem taxes Last year with data available at all levels of government is 2004. Latest information as of January 2006. (1) Calendar Year (2) Fiscal Year

  13. The Changing Landscape of Highway Finance in the US, Benouaich, PB Consult

  14. 3. Pricing (toll) Projects – How much? • Greenfields Opportunities? • Greenfields feasibility and mixing? • Non-Greenfields = NHS (where the congestion is) • Conversion Acceptability (HOT path)? • Constraints where lanes additions involved Where the Action is: The Nation Highway System Network = 162K miles and 45% of VMT (28% is Interstate)

  15. Current Status of Toll Project Development Not including TTC

  16. Current Status of Toll Project Development

  17. The Next Decade: Toll Role? • Current toll revenues $7B • Current highway revenues $140B • Trend based total expenditure for new capacity $30-$40 (higher than trend) • Trend-based toll expenditures for new capacity $8-$10B (exclusive of concession payments) • Large Growth states 50%-plus • Trend-based toll revenues based on Trend 15-17B (exclusive of concession payments) • Trend-based total revenues $165-$170B

  18. Barriers to Toll/Pricing Development • Resistance to Conversion • Need for network level development • Concern for network effects (diversion) • Consideration of Equity (dual system?) • Stakeholder/User control (state, local) • Politics of excess funds investment • Credibility of owner/manager with major funds

  19. Methods to Encourage Greater Use of Pricing for Congestion Management • Congestion management targets (to foster pricing) • Interstate Conversion Forgiveness • Service Target funding with incentive to meet • Credit enhancement, etc. • Aggressive match bait • Deliberate Interstate Policy

  20. Vision: Vehicle-Infrastructure Integration Mixes VMT pricing and Advanced Operations

  21. Needed: New Institutional Evolution
