Intro

• MassDOT Toll Facilities • Decision to Convert to AET • Procurement Approach • New Roadside (Design Build Procurement) and

BackOffice (Goods and Services Procurement)

• Massachusetts Turnpike Authority – 1952 • Principal Toll Facilities:

– Western Turnpike – Closed/Ticket System • 123 miles – 16 Interchanges

– MHS Extension – Barrier • 12 miles – 3 Toll Barriers

– Boston Harbor Crossings – Barrier • Ted Williams Tunnel • Sumner/Callahan Tunnel • Tobin Memorial Bridge

MassDOT – Tolled Facilities

135 miles end to end

MassDOT – Tolled Facilities • Combined Traffic / Revenue

– 218 million annual transactions • 597K average daily transactions • Averages greater than 700K on weekdays

– $331 million annual revenue – 73% of transactions are paid for via ETC

Reasons to Consider AET

AET Feasibility Study • Evaluated “As-is”, ORT, and AET • Study determined AET:

– Simplifies Roadway Operations – Highest traffic and environmental benefits – Least disruptive to implement – Best long term value – Best customer service for toll-paying customers

All Electronic Tolling System Project Purpose

To eliminate delays associated with tolling; increase the efficiency of maintenance and operations associated with tolling; and improve safety at the point of toll collection.

Infrastructure • One Design/Build Contract for New System:

– New Toll Zones and data/power, – New AET Roadside System, – Traffic Control before and at Go Live.

• Follow-up Projects: – Future Demolition of Legacy Plazas – Interchange Reconstruction

MassDOT AET Program • Two methods of payment:

Implementation Timeline Project Phases: Tobin Demonstration – Summer 2014 (GO LIVE TODAY !)

•AETS – “Best Value” Design-Build Procurement* – AETS Construction & Implementation 2014-2016 – 10 year Operations and Maintenance

•Back Office/Customer Service Center – Generally concurrent with AETS Implementation – 10 year Operations – “Best Value” Procurement

•Demolition of legacy plazas – Under Design – Procured in 2016 – Demolition to follow AETS “Go-Live” in 2016

• Interchange Improvements – 2017+

Codependent Implementation

• Concurrent NTP • Concurrent Integration Testing • Concurrent Production Readiness Testing • Concurrent Go-Live • Co-dependent Incentives for early Go-Live • Co-dependent Disincentives for late Go-Live

Operational Performance

• 10 Year Operational Contracts • Both CSC and Roadside/Host Systems are

Performance Standard Driven • Automatic Monthly Invoice Adjustments

AETS Roadside and Host • Roadside & Host System o Toll Zones o Trip Building o Toll Calculation o ALPR/Fingerprinting o Image Review System o Traffic and Revenue System of Record

CSC • Performs Image Review on Host provided

System • Performs Transaction Correction on Host
