White House Wants to Turn Interstates Into Toll Roads

Plan would damage the economy and allow the government to track motorists using toll tags

The White House sent a transportation plan to Congress yesterday encouraging states to turn existing interstates into toll roads, which would allow the government to easily track motorists while damaging the economy even more.
States are currently barred from tolling federal interstates except if the tolls are used to pay for the construction of additional lanes, which rarely happens, or for specific turnpikes which existed prior to the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956.

But if Congress enacts the White House plan into law, states could implement tolls on interstates throughout America, a nightmare scenario that’s already raising concerns.

A tax by another name. We now pay taxes to build roads; gas taxes to maintain them; and tolls to drive on them. Still we hear the cries about no money for the roads and infrastructure. Only in New America.
