D’Artagnan is providing direct support to Caltrans to achieve the objectives of 2014 legislation which directed a study to implement, evaluate, and report back to lawmakers on a pilot test of road charging methods before the end of June 2018.

In future years, D’Artagnan and Caltrans will work closely to implement the recommendations of the task force and fulfil other legislative objectives.

In the first phase of this effort, D’Artagnan is working with partners Lucas Public Affairs of Sacramento, California; DHM Research of Portland, Oregon; and PRR of Seattle, Washington.
