Tollroads play increasing role - report by PB for FHWA
A survey by PB Consult for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) details the expanding role of tolling in highway development. Titled "Current Toll Road Activity in the US: a Survey and Analysis" the report finds that in the past 15 years 22 states have advanced a total of 147 new tollroad (TR) projects that provide 3,400 new centerline-miles (5,472km) and 13,800 lane-miles (22.2k lane-km) of capacity, representing $76.7b in cost.
The report says that over the last decade, an average of 50 to 75 miles a year of new expressway has been constructed as toll roads out of an overall average of the less than 150 miles of urban expressways opened annually.:
"Toll roads, therefore, have been responsible for 30 to 40 percent of new upper level road mileage over the past decade."
