Presentation:
The presentation will focus on the impacts of the pandemic on the region’s tolling programs, both regional toll bridges and express lanes. We will discuss steps taken to respond to the impacts both in the very near-term, such as the accelerated transition to all electronic tolling, and over the mid- to long-term, such as multi-year asset management programs.
