He provided a printed copy of his presentation to committee members (Attachment H). He discussed the grand opening of the US-36 Express Lane project on June 22, 2015. He stated that tolling will commence on July 22, 2015, through Plenary Roads, the private partner on the project. He also discussed the education campaigns, both grassroots and through paid media, related to the express lane project. He responded to a question about transponders and consequences for drivers in non-compliance during the initial tolling phase. He discussed Phase II of the US-36 project. He responded to a question about what the HPTE has learned from the US-36 project, particularly in terms of transparency and public involvement. He discussed the procurement schedule of the I-70 East project, the express lane project on both lanes of North I-25 between US-36 and 120th Avenue. Finally, he addressed the mountain express lane project which adds a third travel lane to the I-70 mountain corridor at peak travel periods and is scheduled to open for the 2015 ski season.
