Tolling Ahead for I-5 & I-205 |
|
Tolling is coming to I-5 and I-205 corridors beginning as early as 2024. As it moves forward, ODOT is asking for input on pricing and other issues related to its Regional Mobility Pricing Project.
ODOT proposes variable-rate pricing as a way to reduce congestion and provide safer and more predictable trips for travelers. In addition to congestion and safety, the study will also look at social equity, economic impacts, and vehicle re-routing.
