Title
Triangle Toll Study Update (10 minutes)
Andy Henry, LPA Staff
Narrative
The DCHC MPO, Capital Area MPO and NCDOT have hired the consultant WSP to conduct a tolling study in the Triangle region. The goal is to determine if toll lanes and/or managed lanes are advisable in the Triangle Region and to develop a strategy to address funding, equity and consensus building issues. The MPO Board received a pre-project presentation in November 2016 and sent a letter to the NCDOT Division 5 Engineer in March 2017 concerning equity issues related to toll lanes. The study has since produced a best practices report and conducted stakeholder meetings. LPA staff will provide a brief update on the most recently completed tasks.
A presentation is attached. The project Web site, www.TriangleTollingStudy.com, has additional information on the project including a copy of the best practices report and a more detailed copy of today's presentation.
