The Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA), operator of The Toll Roads, has released a Toll Plaza Reuse Request for Information (RFI) to explore innovative uses for existing mainline toll plaza areas located on State Routes (SR) 73, 133, 241 and 261. Within the 51-mile toll road network the TCA operates in Orange County, there are 10 mainline toll plazas.
In 2014, TCA made the conversion to All Electronic Tolling (AET), eliminating the need for cash payments at toll plazas. This RFI is the first step in the process to explore innovative concepts for Toll Plaza reuse and underlines TCA’s commitment to promote enhanced mobility, bringing added value to Orange County residents.
“The Toll Plaza Reuse RFI is part of TCA’s Strategic Plan initiative to explore other concepts for the underutilized space” said Mission Viejo representative Trish Kelley, Chair of the Foothill/Eastern Transportation Corridor Agency and the Joint Capital Programs and Projects Committee. “With the release of this RFI, we look forward to the public submitting innovative ideas for consideration by TCA’s Boards for potential reuse of existing toll plaza areas that will benefit the communities we serve, as well as the drivers on the Agencies’ toll roads.”
All applications are due by March 24, 2025, and applications will be evaluated through Spring 2025 with final notification to respondents in Summer of 2025. For additional information, please visit Toll Plaza Reuse | The Toll Roads.
