C-1 Recruitment Message A P P E N D I X C Hello ${m://FirstName}, You were identified as a contact person to participate in a Transportation Research Board project on the challenges of implementing tolling on managed lanes. We are sending this survey to every state Department of Transportation to gauge how different states respond to various challenges related to tolled or priced managed lanes. Managed lanes are typically defined as designated lanes that restrict access for select vehicles. Types of managed lanes include high- occupancy vehicle lanes (or carpool lanes), high-occupancy toll lanes, and express toll lanes. One of the purposes of this project is to find out why states choose to pursue, and not to pursue, tolling on managed lanes. Follow this link to the Survey: ${l://SurveyLink?d=Take the Survey} Or copy and paste the URL below into your internet browser: ${l://SurveyURL} Please submit only ONE survey per agency/state DOT. Please collaborate with other staff, including consultants if necessary, to answer the questions in this survey. The survey link you received can be shared with others by forwarding this email. Please complete this survey, even if your state has limited or no experience with priced managed lanes. The survey should not take longer than ten minutes to complete, and it will remain open until February 22, 2019. Regards, Nick Wood, P.E. Assistant Research Engineer Texas A&M Transportation Institute Follow the link to opt out of future emails: ${l://OptOutLink?d=Click here to unsubscribe}

There is a wide disparity between the goals that state departments of transportation (DOTs) have for priced managed lanes and the public assumption for those goals. The public tends to be highly skeptical of priced managed lanes because the concept is difficult to explain to a nontechnical audience.

The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Synthesis 559: Emerging Challenges to Priced Managed Lanes provides an overview of the state of the practice of how state DOTs address challenges to implementing tolling, or pricing, on their managed lane systems.

The synthesis entailed an extensive literature review of 60 publications and over 700 online media articles, a survey distributed to all 50 state DOTs, and a sampling of six case examples that explained specific examples of how agencies addressed challenges.
