House Concurrent Resolution No. urges the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to conduct a study on the express tolling operations of I-12, comparing them to tolling practices in other states. The resolution 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. It notes that such systems often involve private sector management of pricing and customer service, utilizing electronic toll collection methods like FasTrak to streamline the process and finance infrastructure projects directly through user fees.

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 on travel times for Louisiana citizens. The Department of Transportation and Development 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.
