The Transportation Research Board is seeking trucking industry input for a study to gauge truckers’ willingness to pay for tolls.

As state and federal policy makers set more toll funding projects to pay for new highway infrastructure, a significant proportion of truck traffic bypasses toll roads, TRB said.

Through the study, the group is seeking to determine the factors involved in choosing to use or avoid a toll road.

TRB is looking for drivers, dispatchers, shippers, receivers and anyone affiliated with the trucking industry to take its brief online survey, which is anonymous, at www.trucktolling.org.
