Abstract:In May 2009, the I-95 Coalition convened a workshop of experts to discuss how the Coalition could best contribute to the national dialogue regarding VMT-based charge systems. Following the recommendations of the National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission and the work of other organizations including the Federal Highway Administration, the Oregon Department of Transportation, and the Transportation Research Board, the workshop resulted in a set of recommendations regarding the issues that a multistate program for a VMT-based system should examine. Among these was a recommendation to "address issues related to the institutions and procedures needed for fee collection and audit enforcement…" In carrying out this study, the project team took advantage of other recent studies of VMT-based system options and issues. Many of these studies are cited in chapter 2 of the report. In order to assess current state and toll authority operating concepts and requirements and to determine state and federal issues, numerous interviews were conducted with state officials (representing DOT program and legal staff, departments of motor vehicles and revenue collecting agencies), toll authority officials, relevant association and clearinghouse representatives, and private vendors. In preparing preliminary cost estimates, extensive use was made of the bids submitted by vendors hoping to operate an all-vehicle VMT-based system in the Netherlands, and other cost estimates. The work of the project team was coordinated and reviewed through an I-95 Corridor Coalition Member Advisory Committee (MAC) composed of representatives from Coalition member organizations.
