 | Tolling and Pricing Opportunities Section of the FHWA Office of Operations Website |
| This website is a compilation of information about FHWA tolling and pricing programs. With the enactment of Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Tranportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) in 2005, Title 23 of the U.S. Code was revised to contain several new provisions for tolling and pricing. The website contains a solicitation for expressions of interest from states and other public entities to participate in new tolling programs available under the new legislation, who can respond to the solicitation directly through the website. The website also contains presentations, fact sheets, articles, reports, white papers, Federal guidance, points-of-contact, and related links.
