16. Abstract
A wide range of solutions have been developed to address the unique safety challenges of toll collection facilities. However, many of these solutions have been created by individual agencies that are geographically and institutionally isolated from one another. Consequently, while many of the techniques or strategies are quite innovative and may be applicable at other toll collection facilities, their use may not yet extend beyond a single agency.
This report is the result of an effort to gather information on specific safety strategies directly from those who operate and who work in and around toll facilities. Altogether, individuals from over 35 tolling authorities were consulted, and from discussions with these individuals, 94 strategies were identified that are currently in use across the country, and that may have the potential to improve safety at toll collection facilities. This report presents these 94 strategies.
