  • Our Aging Interstates
    Our Aging Interstates Pennsylvania’s more than 2,700 miles of interstate highways snake into every corner of the state, carrying 1.8 million commuters a day and making the Commonwealth one of the busiest corridors for all those consumer goods people are buying from their phones this Christmas. With the fourth-largest interstate system in the country, including the 63 miles in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania has long been the envy of other states, but now its interstates are deteriorating faster than they can be repaired, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Highway Delivery Division Chief Melissa J. Batula said during a report to the Lehigh Valley Transportation Study (LVTS) and Freight Advisory Committee earlier this month. That includes Interstate 78 in the Lehigh Valley, where 62 percent of the roadway surface is rated to be in fair or poor condition, while just $8 million of the $259 million requested for “priority” projects has been programmed on the state’s 12-year plan for interstates. “We have a backlog of $251 million in the Lehigh Valley. We’re severely underfunded,” Batula said. “And that’s just what we need to keep the lights on. We’ve got to start talking about this amongst ourselves.” Those discussions won’t come easy. A report by the Interstate Steering Committee states that $13.8 billion in projects have been identified as priorities, while just $7.3 billion has been slated to be spent over the next 12 years, leaving about 188 “priority” projects unfunded. The ratio is even worse in the Lehigh Valley, where the more than 22,000 trucks daily – the second-highest statewide behind only I-81 – takes a greater toll on the roadway.

    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.
