Truckers protest proposed toll hike

11/14/08
Aurora Beacon News, IL

Mutersbaugh owns a trucking company in Aurora, and he says high tolls on Illinois highways are hurting him. It costs him about 26 cents a mile in tolls for his trucks to drive the 45 miles east to Indiana, he said, when it only costs him about 15 cents a mile to travel the entire 100-plus miles of the Indiana Tollway.
And with the planned increase in truck tolls proposed as part of the Illinois Tollway's congestion relief program, he says just getting to Indiana will cost him about 42 cents a mile in tolls or almost $20 each run.
"We're a small business," he said. "We can't keep going at this rate."
