Number of Vehicles on I-5 and I-205 with Variable Tolls
The study results have found:
- As the cost of a toll rises, the average number
of vehicles crossing the river declines. At some
point the number of users declines and the funding
available is reduced.
- If both I-5 and I-205 bridges are tolled, more
people will choose to use I-5 because it is a more
direct and efficient route to their destination. As
a result, the number of vehicles on I-5 would be
higher compared to tolling I-5 only. However, the
total number of vehicles crossing the river would be
fewer if both bridges were tolled.
Note: Draft EIS toll is $2 during peak hours and less during off-peak hours.
