Engineering consultancy 1677 Atkins has been awarded a contract to serve as general tolling services advisor to the 5701 Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT).

Under the terms of the contract, Atkins will work with CDOT’s Office of Major Project Development (OMPD) to provide a broad spectrum of on-call advisory services in support of CDOT’s tolled lanes and managed lanes programs. Atkins will collaborate closely with several divisions of CDOT, including its toll-collection agency, known as the High Performance Transportation Enterprise (HPTE); and its Colorado Bridge Enterprise (CBE), to provide expert advice on tolling strategies, system design and architecture, integration, marketing, back-office operations, and more.

L. Joe Boyer, Atkins’ CEO, North America, said: “Atkins has worked closely with CDOT for 15 years, and we have a solid understanding of their systems, technologies, and programs. As a national leader in toll-program management, we will continue to be responsive in supporting CDOT with best-practice expertise.”

In response to Colorado’s increasing traffic congestion and limited transportation funding, CDOT is developing innovative financing and tolling strategies to fund major transportation projects throughout its five regions.

  • Adopting universal technology platforms for tolling

    Dave Marples of Technolution argues that the continuing development of tolling-specific onboard equipment is leading us up a blind alley. We should, he says, be looking to realise universal platforms with universal application. The near-future automobile contains information systems of a sophistication to rival a jet airliner of only a few years ago, yet is 'piloted' by a considerably less well-trained individual of highly variable mental and physical capacity, and operated in a hostile, unpredictable and p
