State Budget Offers Pathway To Highway Tolls

HARTFORD — The new state budget before the House and Senate provides a pathway to electronic tolls on state highways. The spending plan creates the Connecticut Transportation Finance Authority, which includes an appointed board of directors and an executive director. Along with overseeing transportation projects and making recommendations, the board can explore and implement tolling. “The authority may authorize the use of electronic tolling systems along limited access highways to accomplish its purpose and set the specific geographic area to be tolled along such limited access highways,” the legislation says. The authority would operate the tolls, hire vendors and sign agreements with the federal government.
