The resolution urges the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to conduct a study comparing the express tolling operations on I-12 with tolling practices in other states. It highlights the benefits of tolled managed lanes, which aim to maintain traffic speeds of at least 50 mph through dynamic pricing that adjusts based on congestion levels. The resolution notes that such tolling systems often involve private sector management for customer service and revenue collection, utilizing electronic systems like FasTrak for efficient toll collection.

The study is expected to develop a systematic framework to evaluate the benefits of the toll system and address potential issues, particularly regarding the impact of tolling on travel times for Louisiana citizens. The Department is required to submit a written report detailing its findings to the House Committee on Transportation, Highways and Public Works by January 1, 2025. A copy of the resolution will also be sent to the secretary of the Department of Transportation and Development.
