Strategy to Reduce Congestion
Congestion Pricing – Bringing Supply and Demand into Alignment Failure to properly price travel on highways is a
root cause of congestion The price of highway travel (gas taxes, registration
fees, etc.) bears little or no relationship to the cost of congestion
Unlike other public utilities, the public expectation is that the “service” is free or does not change with changes in demand
Allocating transportation services via pricing is more efficient than allocating by delay
Strategy to Reduce Congestion
Path to the Urban Partners

Strategy to Reduce Congestion
Urban Partnership Agreements – Congestion Pricing
Integrated “4T” Strategy TOLLING (pricing) – Key Element
Direct user charge based on use of facility; varies based on level of congestion
Toll collection via electronic means (no booths) Transit Telecommuting/Travel Demand Management Technology
Strategy to Reduce Congestion
Path to the Urban Partners
Over half included a pricing component Most included transit features Most had a technology component Relatively few major telecommuting proposals

Strategy to Reduce Congestion
New York $354 million IF cordon/area pricing is implemented in
Manhattan by March 31, 2009 Will charge drivers $8 and trucks $21 a day to enter or leave
Manhattan below 86th Street on weekdays during the workday
Those who drive only within the congestion zone would pay $4 a day for cars, $5.50 for trucks
Final plan yet to be determined; must meet specified performance measure (6.3% reduction in the pricing zone)
$1.6 million to cover up-front planning costs Tolling authority required by March 2008 to receive remainder
of funds Significant because this is the first time cordon/area pricing will
be implemented in the US

Multimodal Coordination OST High Expectations Key is No Surprises Multimodal modeled after the initial UPA Team
High interest/High visibility program – Congress, Media, OIG, GAO, OST
Strategy to Reduce Congestion
FHWA Responsibilities
Expedited Approvals Again, key is no surprises Anticipate roadblocks and address quickly
(engage all relevant parties – cross-Agency, cross-Department)
Lessons Learned Lessons Transferred Resource Center involvement Idea is to take the UPA experience and broadly
