5938 Cofiroute USA, which introduced toll road automation on the 6021 91 Express Lanes in Orange County, California, has installed a fully integrated back office system as part of a five year US$38.5 million contract awarded earlier this year. The system provides for transponder tracking, accounting, a web-based consumer interface and dynamic pricing capabilities.

The company worked with its software partner TollPlus to meet the specific requirements of the 1768 Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA). This included designing a system that automated many functions and created efficiencies that will permit OCTA to better track toll revenues and control operating costs over the long term. In addition, the new 91 Express Lanes system from Cofiroute USA interfaces with other toll road systems, including the 5508 Transportation Corridor Agencies and its toll roads, 261, 241 and 73 in Orange County.

With the new system, OCTA can directly perform most functions and has the flexibility to change system details quickly, such as in its congestion pricing model (changing toll fees based on time of day) and language modifications.

“It was a monumental task to switch over from the legacy systems we had in place and we were fortunate to have such great teams from the OCTA and Cofiroute USA working together, even around the clock, to launch the new system,” said Kirk Avila, general manager of the 91 Express Lanes of OCTA.
