Notice of Toll Plaza Reuse Request for Information
Background
The Foothill/Eastern and San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA) are soliciting ideas via this Request for Information (RFI) regarding the potential reuse of its existing toll plaza areas to the benefit of the transportation system and the communities TCA serves. These assets present opportunities to enhance infrastructure that align with TCA’s mobility goals and support of future technologies. TCA has a long history of innovation, including development of the Fastrak® technology and early implementation of All Electronic Tolling (AET). This RFI is part of the TCA’s commitment to promote enhanced mobility and bring added value to Orange County residents and road users by exploring opportunities to innovate through beneficial reuse of the toll plaza areas.
TCA is committed to encourage and help facilitate the development of innovative uses of the toll plaza areas. This RFI is an inquiry only, intended to assist TCA on an administrative level, and is an informal method for determining the next steps for TCA and to consider the potential to commit additional time and resources in exploring innovative ideas at some future date. Submissions will be reviewed and summarized for consideration by the staff and TCA Boards of Directors. TCA may choose to initiate direct coordination with a Respondent pursuant to a submission; however, there is no commitment to enter into a contract or agreement as a result of the RFI process.
