摘要：	On January 25 2001, the Board of Commissioners of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) advanced a major intermodal and regional capital program, representing $14 billion in investments in the 2001-2006 period. A package of PATH fares and toll rate adjustments were advanced at that time to help fund this level of investment. The new toll pricing plan adopted consisted of tolls that varied according to time of day and payment type (cash, Electronic Toll Collection using E-ZPass(trademark)) used. It went into effect on March 25, 2001. The PANYNJ advanced the plan as a means for reducing congestion, increasing the use of mass transit and E-ZPass and facilitating commercial traffic management. Following this initiative, the Federal Highway Administration's time of day Pricing Program funded this research project to be conducted by a university-based team independent of the PANYNJ. The research was aimed at assessing the behavior impacts produced by time of day pricing. The project was a joint effort of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Rutgers University and New York University. The findings in this report are solely those of the research team. The focus of this report is on the six interstate bridges and tunnels operated by the PANYNJ to link New Jersey with New York City. These crossings carry average daily eastbound traffic of 352,000 vehicles, or more than 126 million eastbound vehicles in 2004. Tolls are collected in the eastbound (New York bound) direction only. The PANYNJ's Time of Day Pricing Program established a high cash toll at all times of day, with discounted E-ZPass toll rates set at higher levels during peak travel hours, and at lower levels during the off-peak periods. The peak hour toll rates are in effect on weekdays from 6-9 AM and 4-7 PM, as well as on weekends and holidays from 12 noon - 8 PM.
