The American Trucking Associations and NATSO have applauded the Virginia General Assembly for passing legislation that would the Virginia Department of Transportation’s plan to toll I-95.
The legislation would require legislative approval of tolls on I-95 south of Fredericksburg, Va. While not an outright ban on tolling, the Virginia General Assembly has made it clear that they will not move forward with plans to toll I-95 south of Fredericksburg, the ATA said.
“By looking at, then rejecting tolls in favor of more efficient revenue sources, Virginia lawmakers have provided a solid example for states looking to finance needed transportation infrastructure,” said Bill Graves, ATA president and CEO, in a written statement.
