Road Usage Charge and Traffic Road Tolling System

Best Value For Technology Investment

With increasing demands on road infrastructure and dwindling fuel taxes from fuel-efficient vehicles (electric and hybrid vehicles), governments are now investing in road charging programs. The challenge has always been in creating a sustainable but fair system for collecting revenues and implementing a system quickly and economically, while not adding to traffic congestion during peak periods.

As a leader in secure, scalable and compliant road usage charging technology, IMS has established a sustainable, accurate and cost-effective road charging program that offers governments, partners and drivers confidence in exploring alternative revenue opportunities to help fund transportation infrastructure projects.

Reduce Infrastructure Cost and Improve Your Revenue

Our unique, in-vehicle system uses existing cell phone towers and is scalable – it can be used for one to ten roads, or across an entire country, and can set charging parameters based on zones, mileage, peak hours or type of vehicle. Powered by our IMS DriveSync® platform, our solution is fully expandable to include an entire suite of IMS telematics services like traffic information, roadside assistance, vehicle diagnostics and more. And that could mean enhanced revenue to fund your future infrastructure improvements. So investigate the better alternative to road charging, and partner with us today.

Telematics Learnings to Enable Road Usage Charging Successes (On-Demand Webinar)

Enabling fair and sustainable transportation funding is important for all road users. Fortunately, many of the challenges toward large-scale road usage charging have also been encountered, and resolved, in parallel applications within the broader mobility and insurance telematics ecosystem. In this session, learn more about the usage of telematics in other related industries and their relevance in the growth of successful road usage charging deployments

Why Are Governments Choosing IMS Road Usage Charging Intelligence?

IMS is the proven global leader in road usage charging services. Here are the facts:

	First road usage charge program in North America powered by IMS: Oregon Department of Transportation program OReGO – powering the sole Oregon Account Manager (OAM) and also one of two Commercial Account Managers (CAM)
	All large-scale road-usage charging programs to launch across North America using IMS’ services, including: Oregon OAM 2015+ Oregon CAM 2017+ California RCPP 2016-2017 Washington State (WA RUC) 2018 Utah’s Road Usage Charge 2020
	First company to support interstate interoperability: From 2016-2017 delivering invoices for participants travel between Oregon and California.
	First company to deliver international interoperability – across the Canada / US border: Washington to British Columbia, Canada via WA RUC
	First service provider to deploy a private road differentiation solution, excluding private roads from road usage charges using high precision vehicle travel information: From 2016-2017 in California
	First and only service provider to enable support for all available data collection options in one government program: Providing all five data collection options for WA RUC
	Most flexibility and diversity of technology and data collection options available to participating governments: Smartphone data collection Smartphone odometer capture (supporting pre- or post-pay solutions) Embedded OEM telematics OBD2 with location OBD2 without location Third-party telematics service providers

More experience collaborating with governments on road usage charge

Road usage charge pilot projects are small-scale, short-term studies that help decision-makers learn whether and how a concept might work in that specific state. The pilot process allows the State’s Transportation Commission and lawmakers to improve upon the design or policies before potentially launching a larger-scale project.
