The Benchmarks of Excellence

The IRPP maintains the ethical and technical benchmarks for the road pricing profession. Individuals committed to the RPP standard agree to uphold these principles to ensure the integrity of infrastructure funding systems and the protection of the public trust.

​​

1. The Code of Professional Conduct

Every RPP holder and member is an industry steward. Our Code of Conduct mandates five core commitments:

• Integrity & Accountability: Conduct all professional interactions with honesty. As managers of public funds, our work must be beyond reproach.

• Objectivity: Provide evidence-based, data-driven recommendations, prioritizing technical accuracy over political or personal bias.

• Professional Competence: Undertake only those assignments for which you are qualified and commit to lifelong learning as the Domain evolves.

• Equity & Public Service: Strive to design and operate systems that are fair, accessible, and contribute to the sustainable future of infrastructure.

• Confidentiality & Security: Protect the traveling public’s sensitive data with the highest standards of cybersecurity and privacy.

2. Technical Bulletins (Domain Updates)

The Road Pricing Domain is constant, but the methods we use to manage it are always advancing. To keep our members at the vanguard of the industry, the IRPP issues periodic Technical Bulletins.

Curated by the SMEAG, these bulletins provide guidance on how the Four Pillars of Industry Knowledge apply to emerging trends, such as:

• Transitioning from Gantry-based Tolling to Satellite RUC.

• Integrating AI into dynamic congestion pricing models.

• Standardizing data privacy in connected vehicle environments.

3. Ethics Review & Standing

Professionalism requires accountability. The IRPP maintains a formal process for reviewing the standing of any member found to be in violation of the Code of Conduct. Protecting the "RPP" designation ensures it remains a trusted mark of quality for employers, agencies, and the public.
