Tolls And Surface Transportation Reauthorization

"If the United States wants to maximize its resources for improving our highways, then all projects that could be financed with tolls rather than with highway trust fund grants should be toll-financed, leaving trust funds and tax money to support rebuilding, maintaining, and operating roads that can be financed only with such grants. Highway trust fund money is being wasted on projects like the Wilson Bridge, which are eminently toll-financeable. Wasting trust funds leaves less money for road projects that are not amenable to tolling."
