R. China Abstract Nonlinear pricing (a form of second-degree price discrimination) is widely used in transportation and other industries but it has been largely overlooked in the road-pricing literature. This paper explores the incentives for a profit-maximizing toll-road operator to adopt some simple nonlinear pricing schemes when there is congestion and collecting tolls is costly.

  • Making the Case: Building Support for Increased Transportation Funding
    NCHRP 20-24(62) Utah Transportation Funding Case Study Transportation improvements in Utah are strongly linked to economic development and the need to provide jobs for the state’s rapidly growing population. Background By almost any measure, the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is one of the most successful transportation organizations in the country. This certainly holds true in its repeated ability to attract increased State funding. And it provided a unique case study in terms of what some may view as seemingly inherent contradictions. For example, the state as a whole is politically very conservative and yet the public and elected leadership seem to prefer tax increases over tolling or public-private partnerships to fund surface transportation initiatives. The composition of the State Legislature reflects a strong conservative majority and yet, contrary to positions of their political brethren elsewhere in the country, they have not hesitated to raise taxes for transportation when they felt the time had come to act. Furthermore, Utahns are known for loving their cars and yet they are strong supporters of public transportation along the Wasatch Front. And they have demonstrated their commitment to use transit in a metropolitan area whose highway network operates at a level of service that would be the envy of urban regions around the country. And to add to the list of ironies, their largesse in funding highways and transit capacity projects to avoid the congestion traps that have befallen others, and the extremely high regard in which the Utah DOT is held, a DOT that has used its advanced asset management tools to make the case for system preservation, have not been sufficient to provide sorely needed financial support for system preservation.
