parts of what the transportation authority has been doing -- these are the initial toll rates as time goes on, and the ferry goes to 24-hour -- not 24 hours a day, but to fold a service, and the 15 minute service that rachel described capital levels will eventually be higher. but these initial toll levels, i think there were two goals. one is balancing the revenues, but the other two goals for which i speak are the -- establishing the pattern of times of days when there would be tolls while also easing the transition for current residents from a no toll situation to a told situation. there will be a.c. transit service and limited ferry service from the start of tolling operations or at least that is what is being proposed currently. but the future anchorage grocery store may not be established on the island and even if it is, the larger retail program will still be in it's infancy. so establishing the pattern, i think, was a critical feature and in looking at when tolls will be charged. but still, easing that transition until there is more dense transit service and a higher level of r
