CARTA Regional Toll Equity Study

2026-11-03

The Capital Area Regional Tolling Authority ( CARTA ) is seeking qualified consultants to develop a Regional Toll Equity Study . The study will leverage geospatial analysis , focus groups , and community feedback to evaluate how tolling will impact the Capital Region . The study will assume that Express Lanes will be implemented on Interstate 80 , Interstate 5 , Highway 50 , State Route 99 , and State Route 65 as planned in SACOG ’ s 2025 Blueprint . Therefore , the study does not seek to answer the question of whether the Capital Region should implement tolling and instead focuses on how tolling can be implemented to better serve low - income residents and other impacted communities . The plan ’ s central deliverable is a table of actions that CARTA and its partners can take to make tolling more equitable in the Capital Region . This “ Equity Framework ” should designate near - mid - and long - term activities and should include both actions that are implemented system - wide and those that are corridor - specific .
