Congestion Pricing study
The Chicago region is embarking on a toll pricing study funded by the Federal Highway Administration to develop strategies that reduces rush hour traffic. The study, in cooperation with the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (ISHTA), will investigate the impact of congestion pricing on tollways, interstates and strategic regional arterials that make up the Chicago-area transportation network. The goal is to find new and innovative ways of reducing traffic congestion on the system and developing alternative modes of travel.
Wilbur Smith Associates has been selected as the technical consultant to evaluate and model the effects of congestion pricing. MPC and CMAP will be involved in outreach.
A brief outline of the project will be presented at the LCML April 17 meeting. MPC wants feedback from mayors to help shape the study and any future congestion mitigation strategy that may be considered. | |
