Overview: This Handbook provides recommendations for conducting
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) studies for projects
involving toll lanes and toll roads. It covers issues associated
with the NEPA process itself, as well as a range of related issues,
such as developing tolling policies in the transportation planning
process and coordinating NEPA studies with a competitive
procurement for a public-private partnership.

Tolling has received increased attention in recent years as a
method for addressing transportation needs. This trend has resulted
from many factors, including the expanded availability of
electronic toll collection; the inadequacy of traditional funding
sources for transportation projects; the removal of certain legal
restrictions on tolling under federal law; and the success of toll
projects both in the United States and around the world. Recent
legislation-the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, and Effi cient
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU)-seems
likely to accelerate the trend toward tolling, by creating new
programs that allow for the development of toll lanes and toll
roads.

For NEPA practitioners, the consideration of tolled alternatives
presents a range of new issues to consider. This Handbook provides
an overview of the key issues and offers suggestions for
consideration in preparing a NEPA study for a project that includes
tolled alternatives. It is important to bear in mind that
approaches to these issues are rapidly evolving; decisions for each
study must be made on a case-by-case basis by the agencies
involved, and may be different from the approaches suggested in
this Handbook.
