Tolling Scenarios

The following scenarios were studied, but are not recommendations. They were for analysis and comparison purposes and a way to get public feedback. Tolling a facility requires approval by each state’s legislature. Actual toll rates will depend on a final finance plan and will be set by the Oregon and Washington state transportation commissions. Rates will be adjusted to keep pace with inflation if implemented.

Toll I-5: Tolls collected northbound and southbound

Scenario	Description	Toll rate range 2006 dollars	Toll rate range 2018 dollars
1A	Draft EIS variable toll	$1.00 to $2.00	$1.34 to $2.69
1B	Lower than Draft EIS variable toll	$1.00 to $1.50	$1.34 to $2.02
1C	Fixed rate toll	$1.65	$2.21
1D	Additional price points during the day	$1.00 to $2.50	$1.34 to $3.36
1E	1.5x Draft EIS variable toll	$1.50 to $3.00	$2.02 to $4.04
1F	2x Draft EIS variable toll	$2.00 to $4.00	$2.69 to $5.38
1G	3x Draft EIS variable toll	$3.00 to $6.00	$4.04 to $8.07

Toll I-5 and I-205: Tolls collected one-way only

Scenario	Description	Toll rate range 2006 dollars	Toll rate range 2018 dollars
2A	Draft EIS variable toll on both bridges	$2.00 to $4.00	$2.69 to $5.38
2B	Lower than Draft EIS variable toll on both bridges	$2.00 to $3.00	$2.69 to $4.04
2C	Draft EIS variable toll on I-5; lower variable toll on I-205	I-5: $2.00 to $4.00 I-205: $2.00 to $3.00	I-5: $2.69 to $5.38 I-205: $2.69to $4.04

Additional considerations

No Toll	Studied for comparison purposes only
Tolling during construction	This option could be added to any scenario to raise up to $330 million in additional funds and help manage congestion.
