What have we learned about congestion pricing in the US and internationally?

This workshop is designed to draw lessons learned from a recent USDOT international road pricing scanning tour, U.S. congestion pricing projects, and on-going or recently completed research studies related to congestion pricing and distance-based charges. The workshop will also include discussions of freight stakeholder perspectives on congestion pricing and planning and performance measures for congestion pricing and managed lane projects. The workshop format will include panels, roundtable discussions and a poster session on recent research and significant U.S. pricing projects. The workshop will address the following topics:

• International - What lessons can be learned from the recent USDOT international road pricing scan?
• United States - What lessons have we learned from the Urban Partnership Agreement (UPA) and Congestion Reduction Demonstration (CRD) projects in the U.S.? What are best practices for planning and performance measures for congestion pricing and managed lane projects in the U.S.?
• Freight Stakeholders and Congestion Pricing – What issues must be addressed from a freight stakeholder perspective in considering congestion pricing or distance-based charges?
• Research – What has been learned from recently completed or on-going research in road pricing?
