  • Base condition: Value Pricing Feasibility

Analysis Concept E

  • Update and refine revenue estimate
  • Address unwanted diversion
  • Understand rerouting patterns
  • Perform sensitivity tests
  • Identify initial screening alternatives
  • Inform next steps and technical approach

*Modeling analysis is based on Metro’s Regional Travel Demand Model March 20, 2020 | 19

  • Abernethy Bridge toll

with emphasis on revenue generation

  • Toll rates vary with the

level of traffic congestion

  • No toll 11 pm to 5 am
  • No tolling on I-5 in 2027

  • I-205 tolling project evaluation criteria and

performance measures are under development by project modeling team (ODOT/Metro/RTC/consultants),

  • Build off criteria from VPFA and connect to the

project Goals and Objectives

  • Project team will request input on evaluation

criteria from Technical Working Groups, R1ACT, EMAC, JPACT and other regional policy groups

  • Evaluation criteria are used to compare alternatives against baseline (no

project) and between other alternatives

  • Performance measures are generally based on available data from models
  • r other tools, but may also be qualitative
  • Performance measures for initial screening have been developed based on

the Metro regional travel demand model

  • Additional quantitative and qualitative performance measures and

evaluation criteria are being developed for future alternatives analysis
