Opt-In: A Transition Strategy to Efficient Road Use
National transportation agencies are embracing the evolution to efficient road pricing. This report introduces the Opt-in Highway User Fee Plan (Opt-in) which would allow participating users to instrument their vehicles (could be OEM for new vehicles or after-market) with appropriate technology to record the miles driven by time of day, facility type, speed etc. This information would be utilized to establish a charge for road use for each vehicle based on a rational pricing scheme that charged the fee based on fixed and marginal system costs for the particular service provided; facility type, time of day, level of service, and other selected attributes considered. Participants would not be charged current user fees. Click here for report.
