Tolling Systems & Managed Lanes

Successful tolling programs rely on everything working together—from planning and system design to construction coordination and long-term operations. With decades of nationwide tolling experience, Kimley-Horn is committed to partnering with our clients to deliver full lifecycle tolling solutions. We help agencies plan, implement, and operate reliable, high performing tolling systems.

More than just designers, Kimley-Horn brings a full range of toll advisory services that include toll systems planning and design, toll systems procurement development, implementation oversight, program management, data analytics, and operations support.

Comprehensive Tolling Engineering and Operations Support

Our engineering support for tolling systems spans the full project lifecycle—from early feasibility and concept development through final design, construction, system integration, program management and operations support. Early planning activities help define system architecture, operational requirements, and implementation strategies that enable smooth progression through subsequent phases.

To bring new tolling projects to life, we understand—and offer—the following services to our clients, including:

• Strategic planning, grant writing, and toll program development
• Marketing, outreach, and public education campaigns
• Toll system requirements and system engineering
• Tolling systems design and integration
• Electrical, ITS, and roadway design
• System integration, testing, and acceptance
• Program management and integrator oversight
• Operations planning and traffic analysis
• Safety and environmental compliance (NEPA, Title VI)
• Parking pricing, enforcement, and mobility solutions
• Data analytics, performance monitoring, and emerging technology

Through this end-to-end approach, tolling concepts become operational systems—such as fully electronic tolling facilities, variable pricing programs, and interoperable regional toll networks—designed to improve mobility, manage congestion, and support sustainable transportation funding.
