The successful efforts that have been achieved to date for the first phase of an operational testing program being developed in New England to investigate and implement electronic toll collection and traffic management (ETTM) systems are discussed. The New England ETTM Group was formed in 1990 to establish a cooperative effort that will provide a systematic and scientific method for testing and evaluating currently available technologies to determine which one(s) are most effective in New England. Accordingly, uniform standards and specifications are being developed, such as having a set of minimum common data in the tag to capture all the advantages and benefits for both the user and agency in a multiagency situation. The New England ETTM Group includes all the toll collection facilities in the region, the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority in Boston and Logan International Airport in Boston. The application of a process that might be useful to practitioners seeking to implement ETTM systems is discussed. Future work will document the analytical procedures currently being developed. Many institutional and technical concerns must be addressed before the implementation of ETTM can be successfully achieved. An essential ingredient for successful implementation of such a program in areas such as New England that include many separate, independent agencies is the need to establish a coordinated effort among the agencies in the same region. Significant success has been achieved so far in doing so.
