• Abstract:
  As toll road usage increases to finance new road infrastructure or add capacity to existing road infrastructure, the ; question of who does and does not use toll roads becomes increasingly important to toll road developers, financiers, ; Traffic and Revenue consultants, and investors, among others. Although a number of previous studies have ; attempted to characterize toll road users and sub-sets of toll road users, this study presents a first attempt to ; differentiate the auto users and non-users of the Central Texas toll roads. Respondents (1,507) to a telephone survey ; that was conducted in the Spring of 2008 were categorized as users and non-users of toll roads and statistical ; analysis was conducted to provide insight into the demographic and trip characteristics of the auto users and nonusers ; of the Central Texas toll roads. The report also includes a detailed analysis of actual transaction data from the ; Central Texas Turnpike System. This actual data coupled with the preferences expressed in the surveys provides a ; detailed look into the characteristics of the auto users and non-users of the Central Texas area toll roads.
