Domestic Scan of Congestion Pricing and Managed Lanes
Congestion pricing and managed lanes have been receiving increasing attention in the U.S. as viable congestion management strategies and as ways to generate additional revenue. The purpose of this project was to conduct a scan of selected Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) and State Departments of Transportation (State DOTs) to determine how they are planning for congestion pricing and managed lanes. The scan was designed to identify current practices for regional consideration of congestion pricing and managed lanes as strategies for managing congestion as part of the broader transportation planning process. Congestion pricing is defined, for this project, to be any roadway pricing that varies by time of day based on the level of congestion on the facility. This definition does not include congestion pricing not involving tolls, such as parking pricing projects. Although managed lanes can include any differentiation of the use of lanes on a roadway including high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, express lanes, high occupancy toll (HOT) lanes or truck lanes; the focus in this project has been on the planning of managed lanes that involve pricing. This includes HOT lanes, tolled express lanes or any restricted use lanes that require the payment of a fee.
