    Well its not a decision left entirely to the locals, or the state for that matter.

    The Federal Highway Admin. has final approval on changes to an Interstate road. I dont have an exact percentage, but a good chunk of maintaining and improving an interstate comes from Federal dollars.

    The Federal Government just denied Pennsylvania's request to make I-80 in PA a toll road last year.

    There is presently a bill in the U.S. Congress to ban tolling of existing highways. There was a big article about it in Transport Topics.
