Kick out the Jams

KICK How to get Transportation moving forward THE JAMS! OUT

Growing transportation problems worldwide Crumbling Infrastructure Congestion Air Pollution

These pressing transportation problems are really symptoms … … Of a greater, fundamental problem

A lack of clear information

Without clear information… … bad things happen

In a market economy , information comes from pricing signals

Pricing signals influence our choices $0.25 $0.40

Transportation lacks clear pricing signals $??? $??? $??? The problem is: $???

The result is Wasteful behavior

We subsidize wasteful behavior… Property Fuel Sales Income … through the taxes we use to finance roads

The Solution

Have people pay for roads based on use

It’s the fairest way to pay Just like we do for electricity and water

That’s what the experts say “ How street space is allocated, priced , and managed tells people how to travel ” Michael Replogle Transportation Director, Environmental Defense Fund Washington, DC

The fairest way is to pay by Time, Distance and Place T D P

With Time… T TIME We can Pay more during Peak periods

With Distance… DISTANCE We can Pay for actual use

With Place… PLACE We can Pay different rates for different roads

Existing tolling technologies… … can toll highways

… can charge for entering a zone Existing tolling technologies…
