M-18: Roadway Pricing Technical Evaluation Phase II: Iterative Scenario Modeling

The following options describe the anticipated work to be completed for this project with different funding allocation assumptions.

Option 1: Iterative pricing analysis

$75,000 budget

· Use the findings from the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2026 discrete study “Roadway Pricing: Stakeholder Analysis” to engage relevant stakeholders on the desired outcomes and priority metrics to compare across different roadway pricing schemes

· Build on the hypothetical cordon analysis completed in FFY 2025 to explore other pricing levels

· Elaborate on where and in which populations impacts would be greatest

· Evaluate equity impacts of the status quo (free road access)

Option 2: Option 1 + iterative cordon analysis

$100,000 budget

· All elements of option 1

· One to two alternate cordon zones evaluated

· Increased rail frequency included in modeling efforts

Option 3: Option 2 + comparative analysis of roadway pricing systems + transit analysis

$150,000 budget

· All elements of option 2

· One to two corridor-level tolling scenarios evaluated

· Transit capacity analysis
