Senate passes interstate tolling ban in Texas

Senate passes interstate tolling ban in Texas
Quote:
The U.S. Senate has passed a measure to ban tolls on existing federal highways in Texas.

Truckers who view interstate tolling as blatant double taxation say the legislation introduced by Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-TX, is a victory for highway users.

Hutchison’s legislation was incorporated into a larger Senate appropriations bill for transportation and housing that passed Thursday, Sept. 18.

In detail, the Hutchison provision would prohibit tolling on existing interstates in Texas with few exceptions – but would allow tolling to build new capacity favorable to high-occupancy-vehicle lanes.

Got a feeling this will get Sen Kay Hutchison elected Gov. People have been really PO's at rick Perry. Don't come in and try to toll 30 yr old roads and turn others over to Spanish companies and expect to get elected again. He's been there long enough anyway.
