TransCore Will Replace RiverLink Back-Office System With Integrity® Solution
TransCore announced it will deploy its Integrity® solution under the nearly six-year, $146 million back-office and customer service operations contract it recently obtained from the bistate board overseeing the Louisville–Southern Indiana Ohio River Bridges Project and the RiverLink electronic tolling system.
In addition to replacing the system now in use, TransCore will manage critical back-office operations such as account management, invoicing, and image review. It will deliver customer support through walk-up service centers in both Indiana and Kentucky and a locally based call center. As the incumbent roadside toll technology provider for RiverLink, TransCore will also unify roadside and back-office systems and operations to deliver “a more seamless and consistent customer experience.” The company noted its Integrity® platform facilitates high-volume transaction processing and AI-enabled workflows, as well as flexible customer service operations.
Matt Fulkerson, Tolling Operations Director for Indiana DOT, said the board’s decision to expand its partnership with TransCore made sense because the company “has consistently delivered excellence since joining the RiverLink project in 2023, and we’re looking forward to that same standard standard being delivered with invoicing and customer service.”
“We’re honored to continue supporting the [bistate bridge system] and to partner with Kentucky and Indiana on this next phase of improving the RiverLink tolling operations,” commented Whitt Hall, TransCore President and CEO. “Our focus will be on delivering reliable, customer-focused service through a transparent and collaborative transition that supports long-term system performance.”

The A30 Express concession company issued a rate announcement indicating that tolls will go down on February 28. The rate for standard passenger cars will drop by 10 cents to CAD 2.20 (USD 1.62) per axle, while vehicles with a height of 7.5 feet or more will pay 15 cents less at CAD 3.30 (USD 2.43) per axle.
Controlled by ACCIONA and ACS and managed by Northleaf Capital Partners, the company operates Nouvelle Autoroute 30, a toll road and bridge system in greater Montreal. Under its concession agreement with the Quebec government, it makes an annual rate adjustment based on traffic volume. The 2026 toll reduction was driven by a year-on-year volume drop of 30,000 vehicles per day. It also took the 2025 inflation rate into account.

The suicide deterrent system installed on the Golden Gate Bridge is fulfilling both its purposes, saving people who try jumping from the span and deterring people from coming to the bridge to end their lives.
In 2025, four people died by suicide, 87 percent fewer than the number recorded in a typical year before the system was completed. Over the seven months from June through December, there were no deaths. Bridge district security personnel had to intervene in 94 suicide attempts during 2025, a sharp drop from the 245 interventions that occurred in 2017, the year with the highest number on record.
The deterrent system is a cantilever-supported platform created from marine-grade steel that is suspended about 20 feet below and outside the the bridge pedestrian walkway. Because it is designed to catch someone who jumps or falls, it is commonly referred to as “the net.” Construction took five years, cost $224 million, and overcame design and installation complexities and a contractor lawsuit. Concerns that the system would harm the iconic bridge’s aesthetics have evaporated.
Project critics argued that the building cost was unjustified because people bent on dying would simply find an alternative to jumping from the bridge. However, many suicide experts dispute that contention, and a 1978 study found that more than 90 percent of 515 people deterred from jumping off the bridge remained alive or died by means other than suicide.
