about

United Bridge Partners (UBP) is committed to providing and operating transportation solutions across the United States. With a network of bridges nationwide, UBP faced the challenge of understanding and optimizing traffic and tolling behaviors to enhance commuter experience and revenue generation.

Challenge

UBP engaged RMG for two distinct projects:

  1. Cline Bridge (Chicago/Indiana): UBP aimed to understand the percentage of commuters exiting instead of paying a toll and uncover the behavior patterns of these users.
  2. Hampton Roads, VA: The closure of a state-financed tunnel prompted drivers to seek alternate routes. UBP needed to identify new road users and incentivize them to purchase discounted toll passes, encouraging continued usage of UBP’s toll roads.

strategy

Cline Bridge:

  • Utilized mobile device matching to identify commuters choosing alternate routes.
  • Offered toll discounts to encourage these users to opt for the toll road, emphasizing a shorter and more efficient commute.

 

Hampton Roads, VA:

  • Implemented geoframing to analyze travel patterns during the tunnel closure.
  • Conducted a six-month lookback to identify new road users and understand their preferences.
  • Designed targeted strategies to incentivize toll pass purchases through discounts.
