New I-80 Info Sent to FHA

State transportation officials have submitted new information to the federal government after the Federal Highway Administration in December said the original application to impose tolls on Interstate 80 was lacking some key answers. A year ago, the state Legislature approved the tolling of I-80 as a way to raise new money to repair highways and bridges and help struggling mass transit agencies. The plan needs federal approval to proceed. The tolling plan has received strong opposition from the I-80 corridor. If they get federal approval, state transportation officials say they will seek public input on where to put tollbooths.
