All Electronic Tolling System (AETS) Implementation Project I-90 (Western Turnpike / Boston Extension) & Harbor Crossings Stephen M. Collins MassDOT Director of Statewide Tolling Presented by: Donald Bell P.E. - Traffic Technologies, Inc. Phil Miller P.E. - AECOM
Intro MassDOT Toll Facilities Decision to Convert to AET Procurement Approach New Roadside (Design Build Procurement) and BackOffice (Goods and Services Procurement)
MassDOT Tolled Facilities Massachusetts Turnpike Authority 1952 Principal Toll Facilities: Western Turnpike Closed/Ticket System 123 miles 16 Interchanges MHS Extension Barrier 12 miles 3 Toll Barriers Boston Harbor Crossings Barrier Ted Williams Tunnel Sumner/Callahan Tunnel Tobin Memorial Bridge
MassDOT Tolled Facilities 135 miles end to end
MassDOT Tolled Facilities Combined Traffic / Revenue 218 million annual transactions 597K average daily transactions Averages greater than 700K on weekdays $331 million annual revenue 73% of transactions are paid for via ETC
Reasons to Consider AET
AET Feasibility Study Evaluated As-is, ORT, and AET Study determined AET: Simplifies Roadway Operations Highest traffic and environmental benefits Least disruptive to implement Best long term value Best customer service for toll-paying customers
All Electronic Tolling System Project Purpose To eliminate delays associated with tolling; increase the efficiency of maintenance and operations associated with tolling; and improve safety at the point of toll collection. Tobin Bridge Ramp TC
