[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want DC to tax/toll every single out of state plate driving on DC roads. [b]It’s ridiculous we don’t and the technology exists to do it.[/b] I also don’t think that will ever happen. [/quote] DC gets millions of dollars each year in formula funding from the federal government for the upkeep of its roads and bridges. In other words, taxpayers across the country help pay for DC roads -- just as they help pay for public roads in all fifty states. You want to toll cars with out-of-state license plates driving on DC roads? You'll have to give up federal funding and hope that the tolls alone will pay for maintenance, upkeep and expansion projects. You'll never come close. So, it's not ridiculous.[/quote]
