Abstract:This study explores the effects of increases in online activities (such as telecommuting and online shopping) as well as shifts toward electric vehicles on transportation revenues for the District of Columbia (DC). The analysis is based on (1) a review of the literature and state of practice regarding online activities, trends in vehicle fleet mix, experience with various forms of revenue collection, methods for estimating trends in online activities and vehicle characteristics, and methods for estimating transportation revenues; (2) a survey of DC transportation users designed to obtain information that is unavailable from existing sources; (3) the adaptation of demand and travel behavior models for quantitatively predicting online activities; (4) a model developed for estimating transportation revenues from various sources, as well as other measures of effectiveness; and (5) parametric studies of the effects of various factors, individually and in combinations, on expected transportation revenues. The results of this study should support decision-making by the DC Government regarding taxation mechanisms and other policies that may be applied to fund its transportation needs.
