Client: San Francisco County Transportation Authority (SFCTA)
Transportation Analytics was part of the PBS&J-led consultant team that conducted the preliminary feasibility evaluation of implementing congestion charging in the City of San Francisco. The Study Team explored how different charging schemes might be able to mitigate traffic congestion, reduce air pollution, and develop a revenue stream to help improve local transit operations. In December, 2010, the SFCTA Board accepted the initial study and recommended moving forward with the next stage of planning activities. Transportation Analytics had a multi-faceted role on the project including:
- financial analysis of potential pricing scenarios, including a revenue snapshot screening tool and a 30-year cash flow model
- providing expertise in financing alternatives
- modeling the financial impact and sensitivity of different pricing policies
- supporting the analysis of transit system performance impacts
- communicating the implications of various operating assumptions
- preparing major portions of the final report
