Tolls & Managed Lanes
Tolling is a small industry and a very transportable service.
RS&H has a strong, 60+ year history of providing toll consulting services to public transportation and tolling authorities. We are actively involved in worldwide initiatives around tolling through industry-leading associations, including the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association (IBTTA).
With IBTTA, we have worked side by side with agency representatives and other consultant firms to solve the challenges presented to the industry. For example, as part of this collaborative work, we’ve solved problems in areas such as emerging technologies, big data, all-electronic tolling, mileage-based user fees, congestion pricing and interstate tolling.
These solutions are rooted in direct agency experience. Our associates have walked in the shoes of agency staff, system vendors, operations support staff and consultants, which allows us to tackle challenges from all directions. We also have unique expertise in technologies, applications, systems integration and toll operations that goes above and beyond the norm.
