A road usage charge (RUC) allows users of a transportation system to help pay for the system in a fair manner and in proportion to how much it is used. The NCHRP WebResource 2: Road Usage Charge Guide is the first comprehensive guide developed for states and agencies interested in exploring or implementing a road usage charge program. TRB hosted a webinar on Thursday, March 7, 2024 from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM Eastern that introduced the newly-launched RUC Guide, an interactive web resource packed with ready-to-use tools, building blocks, best practices, and a well-researched set of considerations. Presenters gave instructions on the use of the self-assessment tool and how to interpret their state or agency’s unique results. Presenters also shared the customizable tools and resources available on the website.
This webinar was sponsored by TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program and the Standing Technical Committees on Transportation Planning Policy and Processes, Economics and Finance, and Public Engagement and Communications.
The slides are available. Please contact trbwebinar@nas.edu for a link to the recording. There may be a $90 fee.
