| Abstract |
The Road User Fee Task Force (RUFTF) was created as part of House Bill 3946 with the purpose of developing a new revenue collection system design for Oregon's roads and highways. The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is required by House Bill 3946 to begin implementation of pilot alternative revenue collection systems by July 1, 2003. One alternative being considered by the RUFTF is a Vehicles Miles Traveled (VMT) based fee. Currently, ODOT has limited technical information relative to the technologies available that could potentially be used to implement an electronic revenue collection system based on the VMT principle. The research performed in this project focused on obtaining and synthesizing such technical information for ODOT. Technologies explored include, but were not limited to, GPS-based devices, Radio-Frequency Automatic Vehicle Identification devices, and different means of electronic data transfer. This information is then used to assess the feasibility (both technical and economic) of various electronic revenue collection system concepts and to identify technological needs. Based on the results, several conclusions and recommendations are presented. |
