Tax Increases

Spot tolling collects fees from drivers passing through a specific location, typically at a bridge or tunnel. We have spot tolls on a number of bridges in Pennsylvania for example the Walt Whitman, Scudders Falls, and Commodore Barry bridges across the Delaware River.

Managed Lanes

Managed Lanes involves additional lanes on a highway where the traffic is managed for faster travel. With managed lanes, traffic can be regulated by charging a toll, or by encouraging carpooling. It offers a choice to drivers– to pay a fee, carpool, or use the regular lanes.

Congestion Pricing

Congestion pricing is another form of tolling where users are charged based on the congestion on the roadway — encouraging users to carpool or use alternative routes when traffic gets too heavy — creating a reliable speed and trip.

Corridor Tolling

Corridor tolling is similar to what we currently have on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Corridor tolling means tolling interstates and expressways based on the distance traveled along that road.

Road User Charges

These charges are a little different from tolls in that they are generally tied to GPS technologies to calculate the number of miles you drive. Essentially, drivers would be charged a small fee for each mile they drive during the year.

Fee & Tax Increases

This would include increasing vehicle-related fees and/or increasing various taxes, with the exception of the gas tax.
