ATFI STATEMENT ON PASSAGE OF DRIVE ACT - 0 views
-
anonymous on 28 Sep 17The Alliance for Toll-Free Interstates (ATFI) is pleased that the Senate passed the DRIVE Act this afternoon, an important step toward passage of a multi-year highway funding bill. While we are grateful that the legislation did not expand the number of slots in the Interstate System Reconstruction & Rehabilitation Pilot Program (ISRRPP), ATFI is disappointed with some of the DRIVE Act's provisions related to the ISRRPP. This pilot program has provided 17 years worth of evidence that tolling existing interstates is unviable, as no state has succeeded in levying tolls even after multiple attempts. The ISRRPP should be repealed, not expanded.
