Travel Patterns with a Toll on I-5

The study results have found that with a toll on I-5:

  • The majority of I-5 bridge users stay on I-5
  • Some people will choose to change their trip destination to avoid crossing the river
  • Some people will choose to change their route to I-205
  • Some will choose transit instead
  • Some people will choose to carpool to share the toll cost
  • Some people choose to change the time of their trip to pay a lower toll.

Example results from tolling scenario 1A:

Pie chart showing changes in travel behavior (stay on I-5, drive I-205, take transit or don’t cross river) due to Scenario 1 tolls. 

Note: The increase in transit ridership with the CRC project is actually more than 100 percent. The pie chart only depicts the additional percentage of people who would choose transit solely as a result of the toll in scenario 1A.

Travel Patterns with a Toll on Both I-5 and I-205

The study results have found that with a toll on both I-5 and I-205:

  • Most trips remain unchanged
  • Some trips currently on I-205 will shift to I-5
  • Some people will choose a different destination to avoid crossing the river
  • Some people will choose transit instead
  • Some people will choose a different travel time to pay a lower toll
  • Some will choose to carpool to share the toll cost
