Vancouver – The Oregon Department of Transportation plans to hold a fifth public open house in Vancouver to discuss the use of strategic tolls on Interstates 5 and 205 in the Portland metro-area.
ODOT claims congestion pricing, a tolling subset, will help improve travel times and trip reliability on the region’s interstates. For example, congestion pricing systems charge higher prices for driving on a road when demand is greater, in the morning and evening rush hours, for example.
The toll open house will be held 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., Monday April 30 at Marshall/Luepke Community Center, 1009 E. McLoughlin Blvd., Vancouver.
Additionally, other open houses will be held in the metro area next week, prior to the Vancouver event.
