Congress recently passed the first long-term highway bill in a decade. The more than 1,300 page bill contains a number of significant policy changes, some directly related to transportation policy, others less so. This week, 黑料社区is taking a “deep dive” on different components of the highway bill. Today, the topic is Tolling.
黑料社区and the members of the Alliance for Toll-Free Interstates successfully beat back attempts by tolling advocates to expand the federal tolling pilot program known as the Interstate System Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Pilot Program (ISRRPP) in the $305 billion highway bill signed into law last week by President Obama.
黑料社区thinks that the ISRRPP should be repealed in its entirety and will continue to oppose any efforts to toll existing interstate highways. In the ISRRPP’s 17 years, no state has successfully tolled an existing interstate.
