Toll Services

A lack of state and federal transportation funding has left transportation agencies aggressively pursuing creative financing to meet their public transportation needs. As a result, public agencies are evaluating toll revenue-backed projects and private financing as alternatives to traditional gas tax funding, as well as maximizing efficiencies of existing transportation corridors through express lanes, flexible plaza configurations, and managed lanes.

PBS&J is an industry leader in comprehensive tolls services. Through strategic planning and concept development initiatives, PBS&J conducts feasibility studies and projects traffic and revenue forecasts on candidate projects. We assist agencies in developing relationships with financial agencies, identifying and negotiating with outside funding partners, and initiating relationships with private funding sources.

The key to today's dynamic transportation environment is the flexibility of the road and plaza infrastructure. Our continuous hands-on experience with the evolving technologies in toll plaza architecture, toll collection systems, and toll operations provides us with the unique ability to provide innovative solutions to the diversity of today's transportation needs.
