Description:
To improve our understanding of how tolling is likely to affect low-income populations in the Puget Sound region, this report accomplishes four objectives. It
1. reviews existing research on the impacts of tolling on low-income households in the United States
2. assesses the usefulness of currently available Washington and Puget Sound data for estimating the impacts of tolling on low-income populations
3. develops a preliminary estimate of the impacts of tolling on low-income populations living in the Puget Sound region
4. suggests data collection and methodological strategies for future research that would yield better estimates of the impacts of tolling on low-income populations in the Puget Sound region and other parts of Washington state.
