• Abstract:
  The report characterizes with the greatest detail both the passenger and commuter users as ; well as non-users of the Central Texas Turnpike System recently opened in November 2006 in ; Austin, TX. The process of analysis includes a review of literature of other tolling facilities in ; the nation, where focus is given on studies of similar nature regarding demographics of users ; both among passenger and commercial motorists. This background study also touches on the ; general environmental justice impacts of tolling facilities. The report continues by using survey ; data taken both prior to and after the construction of the turnpike system in regards to preference ; and usage by local residents. The last portion of the report concerns the analysis of actual ; transaction data from the Central Texas Turnpike System – where transactions are linked to ; account type, axle count and billing zip code. This actual data coupled with the stated ; preferences of the surveys provides a detailed look into the characteristics of a typical toll road ; user in the Central Texas area. These findings are presented and discussed in detail.
