Lessons Learned from Regional Congestion Pricing Workshops (RCPWs)
Posted: 1/19/2018

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) hosted a series of Regional Congestion Pricing Workshops (RCPWs) to further develop, advance, promote, and enhance tolling and pricing programs and initiatives in metropolitan areas. The workshops featured experts from operating projects who shared lessons learned from their experiences establishing congestion pricing programs. The information shared was designed to help workshop participants plan, implement, and advance a congestion pricing project in their region. This report focuses on the findings from three such workshops held between March 2016 and May 2017 in Schaumburg, Illinois; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and Portland, Oregon. It details cross-cutting issues impacting participating stakeholders identified during the webinars, summarizes key developments achieved in the candidate regions since the webinars were hosted, and concludes with a summary of key takeaways and next steps based on stakeholder inputs and workshop experiences.
