  • Abstract:
    Increasingly, tolling has become an integral part of transportation infrastructure as cities and States respond to urban mobility challenges and face decreased funding for transportation projects. Toll revenues are often essential to pay the capital cost of the toll facility, as well as its operations and maintenance. Expanded use of tolling has also been promoted during the last several Federal-aid Highway Program authorization periods. Environmental Justice (EJ) populations can be affected by tolling, but the impacts vary widely by context and type of project (i.e., full facility tolling or partial facility tolling; a.k.a., “managed lanes”). This fact sheet describes different planning-level tolling scenarios and their potential impacts on EJ populations as well as a project-level evaluation of tolling projects and questions that should be answered to understand the socioeconomic impact of tolls.
