“…Fast and Intertwined Regular (FAIR) Lanes (DeCorla-Souza, 2005;DeCorla-Souza and Barker, 2005) would divide congested freeways into untolled (and congested) lanes and tolled (and uncongested) lanes. Drivers who were not using the toll lanes would earn credits that could be applied periodically to the toll lanes.…”

“…For procurement of toll collection, park-and-ride, ATM, and transit services, it might be possible to explore new approaches involving private participation for provision of these services to control costs, ensure performance, and encourage innovation. Contracts that compensate private providers on the basis of performance could be considered, for example, through shadow tolls on the basis of person miles of service provided at specified threshold travel speeds on urban core freeway segments (26).…”

The multimodal expressway system is a concept of introducing travel choices for suburban commuters in major metropolitan areas relatively quickly and inexpensively. The entire existing limited-access highway system would provide for free flow of carpool vehicles and buses by temporarily slowing (or stopping) and releasing excess traffic at freeway entrance ramps and on the freeway main line at a series of concentric cordon locations around the core of the metropolitan area. At these locations, travel lanes would be created on the shoulder and restricted to use by buses and high-occupancy vehicles with three or more persons and would allow them to bypass the slower moving metered general-purpose traffic. A multicentered bus rapid transit system would serve commute trips between suburban residential areas and major employment centers. The transit system would be supplemented with a flexible carpooling system. An enhanced version of the concept would introduce variable peak period tolls to encourage further mode shifts, reduce traffic demand, and help pay for system costs. Sketch planning estimates of costs for freeway, transit, and flexible carpooling investments suggested that the capital costs could be self-financed through road-pricing revenues.

“…Under the P3, real toll rates would be set by the concessionaire to ensure free flow of traffic, but toll revenues would be assigned to the procuring agency. Thus, to maximize payments it receives from the public agency in the form of VMT fees, the concessionaire is incentivized to maximize vehicle throughput, while maintaining the required speeds on the freeway system (DeCorla-Souza & Barker, 2005; Regan, 2018).…”

Implementing Congestion Tolls on Currently Free Highways With Public–Private Partnerships: What Are the Financial and Economic Benefits?

A trillion dollars in Interstate highway improvement and modernization work has been deferred due to lack of funding. More than half of Interstate and other freeway and expressway lane miles are classified as urban. Therefore, one approach that could be considered to generate needed revenue for freeway improvements in urban areas is implementing congestion-based tolls on freeways during peak periods when they are congested. Such an approach has been implemented in the Washington, DC metro area, on the I-66 freeway inside the Capital Beltway in Northern Virginia. This article demonstrates how an analyst may estimate the financial and economic benefits of a concept involving imposition of congestion-based tolls on the entire urban freeway network, during peak periods only, in conjunction with transit service improvements using automated transit vehicles. Furthermore, the article evaluates potential benefits from using a public–private partnership for implementation of the concept.
