Alliance maitains press against tolls
Wisely, opponents to Interstate 80 tolls in Pennsylvania are far from assuming the plan is dead just because federal authorities rejected it last fall. And with some transportation officials crowing in their tolls reapplication – new paperwork was submitted Tuesday – that it would result in quadrupled funding for state highway work, it’s clear they still want the tolls. So an alliance of economic development organizations has been formed and leaders of those organizations are fanning out over the state this summer to galvanize resistance to the I-80 toll plan. Petitions are being circulated. Money has been committed to the cause. The alliance believes funding solutions are needed to meet the state’s highway needs. They just believe there are more equitable sources for that funding than the economically damaging plan to toll I-80, particularly with the possibility of leasing the turnpike system.
