Everyone is talking about how to solve transportation funding shortfalls and manage congestion. Today, more and more agencies are considering and moving towards an increased use of tolling. Is this really a viable transportation and funding solution? Understanding the types of tolling systems, applications, integration, and back office operations are key to being able to answer this question. This half-day seminar is designed to provide you or your agency the information to understand the various aspects of tolling and can help in determining how or if tolling may be part of your future transportation solutions.
