Thompson, Others Learn About I-80 Tolling Application
At a briefing on Capitol Hill today, members of the Pennsylvania Congressional Delegation had an opportunity to learn how the Federal Highway Administration plans to evaluate the current application from the Turnpike Commission to toll Interstate 80.
Congressman Glen Thompson delivered a three-inch thick binder of news articles from the state on the different opinions on the tolling plan and the recent scandals involving the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, which would manage I-80 if the application is approved.
A policy adviser to administration administrator Victor Mendez explained that the application must show that “the only way the state could reconstruct or rehabilitate was through tolling.”
Congressman Paul Kanjorski told Mendez that he did not think the state had exhausted all other possibilities.
