New Publication: Port Peak Pricing Program Evaluation (HTML, PDF 1.2MB) - (Publication Number: FHWA-HOP-09-014) Congestion Pricing Primer Series - The Congestion Pricing Primer Series is part of FHWA's outreach efforts to introduce the various aspects of congestion pricing to decision-makers and transportation professionals in the United States. The Value Pricing Pilot (VPP) program, initially authorized in the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) as the Congestion Pricing Pilot Program, and most recently renewed with the passage of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), encourages implementation and evaluation of value pricing pilot projects to manage congestion on highways through tolling and other pricing mechanisms. This is the only program that provides funding to support studies and implementation aspects of a tolling or pricing project. The program is limited to 15 slots (which FHWA has reserved for "states") of which only one vacancy remains. Each state can have multiple projects. SAFETEA-LU provides a total of $59 million for fiscal years (FY) 2005-2009 for the VPP program. $11 million was authorized for FY 2005 and $12 million was authorized for each of FYs 2006 through 2009. Of the amounts made available to carry out the program, $3 million will be set-aside in each of the fiscal years 2006 through 2009 for value pricing projects that do not involve highway tolls. Funds available for the VPP program can be used to support pre-implementation study activities and to pay for implementation costs of value pricing projects. Program Highlights
