South Norfolk Jordan Bridge (“SNJB”) Is a 5,372 Ft Fixed Bridge That Connects the City of Chesapeake to the City of Portsmouth Over the Elizabeth River In
TOLL REVENUE NEW BUILD / REPLACEMENT SOUTH NORFOLK PRIVATIZATION PRIVATE FINANCING UNSOLICITED BID JORDAN BRIDGE CHESAPEAKE, VA The South Norfolk Jordan Bridge (“SNJB”) is a 5,372 ft fixed bridge that connects the City of Chesapeake to the City of Portsmouth over the Elizabeth River in Virginia. The City of Chesapeake had decommissioned the original Jordan Bridge in November 2008. An unsolicited proposal submitted by United Bridge Partners (“UBP”) to replace the Jordan Bridge with a new, privately owned bridge was approved by the City of Chesapeake in January 20091 by executing an Acquisition and Development Agreement (“ADA”) between UBP and the City of Chesapeake. As part of the ADA, UBP assumed responsibility to demolish the existing Jordan Bridge, aquired the right of way and easments associated with the bridge, and the right to toll, design, construct, finance, operate and assume ownership of a new bridge and associated tolling facilities on the SNJB. The construction of the SNJB was reported to be privately financed. Project revenue on the SNJB comes from tolls, set by the private operator with no defined limit, which are collected electronically on the bridge2. Note: the facts of this case study were reviewed by UBP. We have provided Chesapeake footnotes to describe instances where UBP disputes information in the public domain.

Toll Pricing and Its Relationship to Travel Demand, Elasticity, and Distribution of Economic Activities for Hampton Roads, Virginia
TOLL PRICING AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO TRAVEL DEMAND, ELASTICITY, AND DISTRIBUTION OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES FOR HAMPTON ROADS, VIRGINIA Salvatore J. Bellomo, Alan M. Voorhees and Associates, Inc. This paper presents the effect of toll pricing on travel demand and distri bution of economic activities in the Hampton Roads area of southeastern Virginia. A methodology is described that projects simultaneously travel demand and distribution of population and employment. The 1°esults o.r test ing future alternative conditions for crossing Hampton Roads are used to illustrate the impact of changes in new facilities and toll pricing on travel demand, average vehicular trip length, trip purpose, and distribution of future population and employment. The findings in this paper offer an alter native method to the projection of a single-demand estimate used in most urban area transportation studies. The consideration for the elasticity of demand with respect to price described in this paper could be applied to the analysis of major facilities within urbanized areas or between major regions that are considering toll-pricing policies or broader transport-pricing policies. •PRICING POLICIES can be used by the transportation and urban planner to control travel demand and the distribution of economic activities. Roth (1) pointed out qualita tively how the road pricing of congestion could be used to reduce vehicular travel de mand. Golenburg and Keith (2) illustrated quantitatively through a simulation technique how the price on parking could be used to r educe automobile travel demand in Canberra, Australia. The purpose of this paper is to present quantitatively the effect of future toll-pricing schemes on the demand for highway travel and the distribution of economic activities in the Hampton Roads area of southeastern Virginia shown in Figure 1. -

TIERNE Y* The practice of charging tolls on bridges began before the reign of Charlemagne.' As the era of private enterprise flourished in Great Britain and the United States, tolls for travelling on roads and bridges became the rule rather than the exception.2 At one time al- most all the bridges in Great Britain charged tolls for passage,3 and many well-known bridges in the United States, built with private financing, charged tolls to provide a fair return on the construction investment.4 * Trial Attorney, Federal Highway Administration.

The state wanted to improve transportation routes by building bridges but had been hampered by restrictions regarding bonding in Article VIII of the state constitution. Therefore the Toll Bridge Authority was given the power to issue revenue bonds which were not limited by Article VIII. It was to select, fund, build and operate bridges which would probably not win approval in a statewide levy. The revenues from the operation of the bridges would pay off the bonds. The membership of the Authority originally consisted of the Governor, the State Auditor, the Director of the Public Service Commission, the Director of Highways, and the Director of the Department of Finance, Budget and Business. By the time the Authority was dissolved in 1977, the membership consisted of the Governor, two members of the State Highway Commission appointed by the Commission, and two other members appointed by the Governor. -
