The NMDOT Statewide Tolling Options Study developed an understanding of the potential for tolling in the state and provided support for policy discussions between NMDOT, the New Mexico State Legislature, and the Governor. Four objectives comprised the approach for the project: a) developed guidelines for toll project selection and a methodology to assess project feasibility; b) identified potential statewide tolling opportunities; c) identified potential organizational structures to manage tolling initiatives; and d) identified required legislative changes to implement tolling opportunities

The study examined the entire state with emphasis on the major urban areas and rural areas with significant mobility challenges, and examined all potential tolling options, including, but not limited to: high-occupancy (HOT) lanes; express toll lanes (ETL); truck only toll (TOT) lanes; cordon tolling; and mileage-based pricing.
