Project - GEORGIA: Northwest Truck Tollway

The study examined a truck-only toll facility extending from Georgia State Route 21 near I-95 to I-16 at the intersection of I-516 (Savannah, Georgia). This study was conducted in cooperation with the State Road Tollway Authority (SRTA), the Georgia Department of Transportation, the Georgia Ports Authority, the Chatham County-Savannah Metropolitan Planning Commission, and the Chatham Urban Transportation Study (CUTS) - which is the metropolitan planning organization for the region. The study initiated a peer-to-peer exchange; conducted market research on the potential for truck-only toll facilities; developed additional data on truck travel; refined the travel model related to truck travel; examined options for selling additional capacity to other modes (single occupant vehicle, high occupant vehicle, transit, etc.); and examined the use of revenues and other activities.
