More information about tolling
ODOT has two toll projects underway in the Portland metro area – the I-205 Toll Project and the Regional Mobility Pricing Project – to manage traffic on I-205 and I-5 in a way that is equitable and addresses climate change while providing needed funding for critical infrastructure and safety improvements. While separate projects, they inform each other. Toll prices will be higher at peak traffic times, a concept known as “congestion pricing.” With both projects:
- Drivers only pay for what they use.
- Tolls help traffic move more smoothly.
- Tolls provide a more reliable trip.
- Toll fees will not be a surprise.
