Institute (MTI), an organized research and training unit in partnership with the Lucas College and Graduate School of Business at San José State University (SJSU), increases mobility for all by improving the safety, efficiency, accessibility, and convenience of our nation’s transportation system.Through research, education, workforce development, and technology transfer, we help create a connected world MTI leads the four-university MTI leads the four-university California State University Transportation Consortium funded by the State of California through Senate Bill MTI’s transportation policy work is centered on three primary responsibilities: Research MTI works to provide policy-oriented research for all levels of government and the private sector to foster the development of optimum surface transportation systems Research areas include: bicycle and pedestrian issues; financing public and private sector transportation improvements; intermodal connectivity and integration; safety and security of transportation systems; sustainability of transportation systems; transportation / land use / environment; and transportation planning and policy development Certified Research Associates conduct the research Certification requires an advanced degree, generally a Ph.D., a record of academic publications, and professional references Research projects culminate in a peer-reviewed publication, available on TransWeb, the MTI website (http://transweb.sjsu.edu) Education The Institute supports education programs for students seeking a career in the development and operation of surface transportation systems MTI, through San José State University, offers an AACSBaccredited Master of Science in Transportation Management and graduate certificates in Transportation Management,Transportation Security, and High-Speed Rail Management that serve to prepare the nation’s transportation managers for the 21st century.With the active assistance of the California Department ofTransportation (Caltrans), MTI delivers its classes over a state-of-the-art videoconference network throughout the state of California and via webcasting beyond, allowing working transportation professionals to pursue an advanced degree regardless of their location To meet the needs of employers seeking a diverse workforce, MTI’s education program promotes enrollment to under-represented groups Information and Technology Transfer MTI utilizes a diverse array of dissemination methods and media to ensure research results reach those responsible for managing change These methods include publication, seminars, workshops, websites, social media, webinars, and other technology transfer mechanisms Additionally, MTI promotes the availability of completed research to professional organizations and journals and works to integrate the research findings into the graduate education program MTI’s extensive collection of transportation- related publications is

10.31979/mti.2020.1931 16 Abstract This study evaluates the demand for truck-only toll lanes on Southern California freeways with owner–operator truck drivers The study implemented the stated preference survey method to estimate the value placed by drivers on time, reliability, and safety measures using various scenarios geared towards assessing those values The project team met face-to-face with owneroperator truck drivers near the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to understand the drivers’ perspectives regarding truck-only toll lanes on Southern California freeways A data set containing 31 survey responses is obtained and used for statistical data analysis using analysis of variable (ANOVA) and two sample t-tests The analysis results showed that 75.27% of the owner– operator truck drivers responded are willing to pay toll fees when they choose routes The tolerated average toll fees are $13.77/ hr and $12.82/hr for weekdays and weekends, respectively The analysis results also showed that owner–operator truck drivers will take truck-only toll lanes when they take the routes used in four comparisons out of six comparisons according to the three measures such as values of time, reliability, and safety, despite sharing a common origin and destination The highest toll fee per mile on any day that drivers are willing to pay when the main factor being compared is value of time is $0.31/mile or $18.35/hr The toll fees associated with reliability and safety measures are $0.30/mile or $8.94/hr and $0.22/mile or $11.01/hr, respectively These results are meaningful for legislators and transportation agencies as the behaviors and route choice characteristics of owner–operator truck drivers help them better understand the utility and demand for truck-only toll lanes 17 Key Words Truck routes, owner operators, value of time, reliability, safety 18 Distribution Statement No restrictions This document is available to the public through The

Engineering and Construction Engineering Management at California State University Long Beach He supervised two undergraduate students and was responsible for overall project coordination, assuring successful project completion, and preparing the final MTI report Prior to this research, Dr Kim played an important role in a research project that evaluated several ITS-based treatments for the safety of a pedestrian crossing the streets funded by the Federal Highway Administration He worked on the overall management of that project, which included the supervision of students collecting data based on either human or video observation, organization of data, statistical analysis using non-parametric tests, and reporting of the results The outcomes had been featured in several publications and presentations at the meetings of the Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board and the annual Transportation Research Board The PI has previous experience as a GIS specialist at the Gainesville Police Department in Florida and has a minor in statistics, which is a significant advantage for conducting this research SAMUEL DOMINGUEZ Samuel Dominguez is a senior civil engineering student at the Department of Civil Engineering and Construction Engineering Management at California State University Long Beach who contributed to accomplishing the goals of this research project His interests within the field include structural engineering and project management The scope of his work includes assistance of design for the stated preference survey form, collection and analysis of field data with the PI, and preparation of the MTI report LUIS DIAZ Luis Diaz is a civil engineering graduate with his E.I.T and is pursuing his MS degree in Civil Engineering at the Department of Civil Engineering and Construction Engineering Management at California State University Long Beach He is interested in helping the community by finding solutions that will improve the transportation system He worked on this project to accomplish the goals of this research project The scope of his work included conducting a supplemental literature review and assisting with design for the stated preference survey form Min e ta Tra n s p o rt a t io n I n s t it u t e 46 PEER REVIEW San José State University, of the California State University system, and
