AIR QUALITY BENEFITS OF ELECTRONIC TOLL COLLECTION

This paper analyzes the potential air quality benefits of replacing traditional toll collection with electronic toll collection (ETC). The Chicago area is used as an example. Emissions data and traffic data for Chicago are used to determine the amount of emissions saved by various electronic toll collection scenarios. Previous studies are then used to determine a monetary value for pollution reduction. This study concludes that while ETC may remove a relatively small portion of regional pollution, it may still have significant economic value in terms of pollution reduction.
