摘要：	This report is the final in a series of reports prepared as a case study analysis of a mid-size urban/rural toll road implementation in the Tyler, Texas, area. The case study focuses on a proposed outer loop, Loop 49, which is a new regional highway that will eventually connect Lindale and US 69 with I-20 northwest of the city, looping to the south and east and terminating at I-20 on the east side of Tyler. Originally planned as a non-tolled highway with initial segments funded through conventional sources, the first segment of Loop 49 will be opened in late 2006 as a toll facility. The case study documents the development of Loop 49 as a toll facility, including the tolling concept, design, public acceptability, and environmental aspects of the project. This final report is a summary of the lessons learned over the past three years as the Loop 49 project has moved through the project development process as a two-lane, all-electronic tolled highway. The findings cover a number of different aspects of tolling implementation, including public support, design flexibility, environmental re-evaluation, financial planning, and formation of the regional mobility authority (RMA). The lessons are offered from the perspective of a state department of transportation pursuing tolling in a small urban or rural setting, yet many of the lessons have broader application in the development of toll projects, particularly in communities new to tolling.
