  • Value Pricing Pilot Program Participation, Fiscal Year 2009 (HTML, PDF 67KB) - The Value Pricing Pilot Program was reauthorized under SAFETEA-LU as an experimental program aimed at learning more about the potential of different pricing approaches for reducing congestion.

Approximately $12 million is expected to be available for allocation to projects in FY 2009. Of this amount, $3 million is set aside for pricing projects not involving tolls, and $5 million is set aside for metropolitan region-wide pricing studies. Grant applications are due no later than November 7, 2008.
