Project - GEORGIA: Variable Pricing Institutional Study for the GA-400 in Atlanta

The State Road and Toll Authority (SRTA) studied the institutional challenges and feasibility of moving from a fixed-priced toll to a variably priced toll system using GA-400 as a case study. The major tasks of the proposal included a thorough examination of the Toll Authority's internal processes and procedures; legal, contractual & bond covenants; conceptual traffic & revenue forecasts necessary to meet financial obligations; and development of an implementation plan. The study produced reports identifying key issues as well as model documents for other toll authorities considering similar conversions. The study also identified issues facing toll authorities considering changing from a fixed toll to a variable toll policy, as well as developing model documents.
