TRB Webinar: Ensuring Equity with Priced Managed Lanes

TRB conducted a webinar on Monday, April 29, 2019, from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM ET that discussed methods for identifying, evaluating, and mitigating access and affordability challenges for priced managed lanes facilities. Priced managed lanes provide governments and local authorities with regional transportation network improvements and funding sources. However, pricing and access policies may impose disproportionately adverse effects to other users. Presenters described how to ensure that both vertical and horizontal equity concerns that result from pricing and access decisions are alleviated. They shared current practices from a diverse portfolio of projects, each with unique equity concerns.

This webinar was organized by the TRB Standing Committee on Managed Lanes.

The slides are available. Contact Reggie Gillum at RGillum@nas.edu for a copy of the recorded webinar.

• Ryan Ross, San Diego Association of Governments
• Rick O’Hara, Georgia Department of Transportation
• Elisa Bell, Transurban
