TOLL FINANCING: PROUD HERITAGE, BRIGHT FUTURE. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Because of renewed interest in toll roads and toll financing, the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association (IBTTA) commissioned Wilbur Smith Associates (WSA) to conduct an update of a 1977 report WSA had done on the industry, titled "Toll Financing--A Supplemental Resource for Transportation Needs". This update reviews the operating and financial experience of some U.S. toll roads, examines changes in financing techniques and in state and federal law, and reports on technological advances that can help make toll roads more acceptable to motorists. The Executive Summary highlights the findings which are explained in greater detail in the main report.
