Summary

A Transportation Commission pilot testing a commercial smartphone tolling app with Good2Go users found near-perfect accuracy when the app was Bluetooth-paired to the vehicle and recommended a fully operational pilot with roadside cameras to assess deployment, privacy and equity implications.

The Washington State Transportation Commission presented results of a tolling-technology pilot that tested a commercially available smartphone app (Go Karma) with Good2Go customers to assess whether smartphone-based tolling could complement existing tag- and camera-based systems.

Grama Griffith, executive director for the Transportation Commission, and consultants from CDM Smith described the pilot scope and objectives: a global scan of emerging tolling technologies; recruitment of more than 300 Good2Go customers; configuration of geofence-based detection on SR 520 and an SR 18 test segment; and collection of approximately 13,000 toll transactions during a two-month pilot.
