SRTA Wins Recognition for Toll Credits Pilot Project
Gwinnett Daily Post reports that Georgia’s State Road and Tollway Authority recently received an IBTTA Toll Excellence Award for its Commuter Credits Pilot Program to address I-85 corridor congestion. SRTA awarded toll credits to Peach Pass customers to provide an incentive for them to ride transit, form carpools or avoid travel during peak traffic periods.

WTOP reports, “One stretch of highway in the D.C. area has been rated as the worst ‘traffic hot spot’ in the entire nation. Interstate 95 South in Virginia between Newington and Fredericksburg received the dubious distinction from the traffic data company INRIX.” The station’s traffic reporter says, “[I]t’s the result of too many drivers having too few options and that complications such as crashes and sun glare can make a bad situation even worse.” Officials point to “projects underway to ease the congestion, starting with an Express Lanes extension.”
