• Abstract:
  This report reviews technology options for a mileage-based user fee system in the state of Texas. The report was ; compiled based on input from a diverse range of sources, including a literature review of existing mileage-based ; user fee technical write-ups, discussion of an internal technology assessment team at the Texas Transportation ; Institute, interviews with individuals representing key technology stakeholders, and findings from the first annual ; symposium on mileage-based user fees. The main focus of this report is to assess the range of possible mileagebased ; user fee system architectures. These architectures are considered at the logical level (i.e., the flow and ; transformation of information from raw data describing roadway use to an end bill) with the goal of demonstrating ; how the process flow of each architecture affects its ability to meet key policy objectives. The report also explores ; issues related to payment, enforcement, the deployment of on-board units in vehicles, and the potential for ; technology enabling a mileage-based user fee to be a platform for other value-added services. Finally, the report ; concludes by identifying key policy questions for Texas that must be addressed before pilot programs can be ; developed.
