MassDOT – Current Toll Operations
Introduction of Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) in 1998. 1200 transactions per hour vs. 250‐300 transactions per hour
11
Electronic Toll Collection (ETC)
• FAST LANE implemented in Massachusetts in 1998
• Part of E‐ZPass Interagency Group (EZG)
• 2014 participation rate ~ 75%
TM
– 80% on Boston Extension – 74% for Western Turnpike and Harbor Crossings
• 161 million transactions annually
• Increased E‐ZPass usage helps reduce plaza congestion ‐ Peak periods still cause backups
– Diminishing Returns: must also have staffed lanes
12

3/17/2015
• E‐ZPass Customer Service Center
– 1.4 million Massachusetts Accounts
– Centrally located in Auburn, MA
– 135 staff members (120 TransCore, 15 MassDOT)
– 661K phone calls annually
– Five Walk‐in Centers
– $263 million revenue
• Lane System Maintenance
– 17 people (10 TransCore, 7 MassDOT)
13
• Violations
– Commonwealth of Massachusetts Regulations
– Administrative Process
• E‐ZPass Interagency Group
– 26 Member Agencies
– 15 States and expanding
– 26+ million transponders
• National Interoperability
– Varied Technologies
– Multiprotocol solutions

MassDOT – Tolled Facilities
• Traditional Toll Plaza Issues:
Berkshireeagle.com
Alpsroads.net
– Safety
– Congestion
– Environmental impacts
– Inefficiencies / cost of operations & maintenance
15
Other Issues
Even with the throughput improvements E‐ZPass
offers, toll plazas continue to inhibit free flow of traffic causing congestion and air quality issues as well as pose safety concerns
16

3/17/2015
NTSB Findings
“Toll authorities nationwide experience rear‐end collision rates that exceed other types of collisions, in part because toll plazas interrupt the flow of high‐speed traffic to intermittently collect tolls.”
17
Alternatives
• Multi‐phase study:
– Evaluate toll options that help reduce congestion and emissions as well as increase safety:
• Utilize the existing system “as is” with only slight modifications
• Add Open Road Tolling (ORT)
• Convert to All Electronic Tolling (AET)
– Perform Feasibility Study on Best Approach
• Preliminary traffic and revenue impacts
• Procurement strategy and timeline

3/17/2015
Alternatives – “as is”
• Utilize the existing system “as is”
– Does not address safety concerns, traffic congestion, nor environmental impacts
– Does not allow the State to materially reduce operational costs of the tolling facilities – Significant toll system maintenance due by 2017
– Over next 20 years, required plaza rehabilitation estimated at over $75 million
– Existing plazas reduce future options at interchanges
19
Alternatives ‐ ORT
• ORT has a cash lane option:

3/17/2015
Alternatives ‐ ORT
• Series of Open Road Tolling (ORT) Facilities at various points on Mass Toll Roads
– Mainline Plazas (i.e. not at interchange ramps)
• Merge and weaving issues
– Construction of ORT plazas would likely require Right of Way / acquisition
• Increased Site Disturbance
• Need for Environmental Permitting/Mitigation
• Greater Capital Costs – Would result in large number of free movements • Encourages drivers to use the free sections and divert around toll plazas
21
Alternatives – ORT (cont’d)
• Other states using Open Road Tolling Layout
– NH I‐93 / I‐95, Maine Turnpike, NJ TPKE, Illinois
– Some of these implementations:
• Required additional cash lanes located off to the side of mainline • Significantly increased the extent of paved area
– All of these implementations continue to:
• Require cash plazas operations and maintenance
• Experience traffic weaving to avoid ending up in the wrong lane
22
11
3/17/2015
Alternatives – AET
• AET = “Cashless” Tolling (no in‐lane cash option)
– No Toll Booths
– No Stopping
– Tolls collected
at Highway Speeds
Gazette.net
– All electronic: via overhead readers and cameras and sometimes sensors embedded in roadway
23
Alternatives ‐ AET
• AET Provides Opportunities For:
– Reducing environmental impacts
– Reducing operating and maintenance costs
– Providing greater throughput
– Increasing motorist and employee safety
– Minimizing need for toll plaza capital infusion
– Correcting highway and interchange design issues – Providing greater data for analyzing and managing traffic All Electronic Tolling Overview

AET Feasibility Study
• Analysis
– Operational
•
•
•
•
•
•
Cost Savings (Elimination of manual toll collection)
Cost Avoidance (Significant reduction in plaza capital & maint.)
Cost Additions (Expanded back‐office operations)
Diversion (Customers seeking alternate routes)
Leakage (Inability to identify/Customers not paying) Change in Net Revenue (Summation of the changes)
– Capital
• AETS Toll System and Gantry Construction
• Plaza Demolition

AET Procurements
• Three Separate Vendors
– Increased competition
– Allowed best value / most qualified
• Roadside System (AETS) procured as Design‐
Build / Maintain
– Offered shorter procurement cycle
– Allowed vendor innovation
• D/B for this type of project has its challenges
• Back‐Office Customer Service Center
– Unit price, performance‐based contract
• Toll Modular Buildings
– Chapter 149

All Electronic Tolling System
Project Purpose : To eliminate delays associated with tolling; increase the efficiency of maintenance and operations associated with tolling; and improve safety at the point of toll collection.
