Existing & NewOpportunities • Existing Toll Road (SR-125) • Existing Value Pricing Corridor • New Value Pricing Corridors • Possible New Toll Roads
Lessons Learned • There is public support for congestion pricing. • Pricing works as a congestion management tool. • Corridor-level public outreach and market research is needed. • Given growing demands and constrained revenues, new tools such as pricing and tolling are needed. • Need Authority at the State Level to expand the concept.
