The I-205 Toll Project will use variable-rate tolls on the Abernethy and Tualatin River Bridges to raise revenue to complete the I-205 Improvements Project and manage congestion. Read the Purpose and Need Statement here.

By 2040, Portland area households will spend an average of 69 hours each year stuck in traffic without new transportation investments. Yet Oregon currently faces an annual shortfall of $510 million in its ability to adequately maintain bridges and pavement.
Tolling is needed to fix our transportation system.
Congestion pricing, a type of tolling, will bring more reliable trips and address congestion in the Portland metropolitan region, which will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The revenue from tolling will fund seismic, safety and bottleneck-relief projects, further contributing to regional congestion relief.
Tolling helps manage traffic congestion by encouraging drivers to consider other travel options or times of travel. Even a small decrease in the number of people trying to get on I-5 and I-205 will have travel time benefits for those who can't modify their trip.
