[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This would be the perfect time to start require entry tolls into the District for all drivers registered in other states. Treat DC like central London or Paris. Congestion pricing baby! MD and VA may not have to pay those camera tickets, but ain’t no escaping a toll! Will it be expensive to implement? Yes. But it’ll pay for itself quickly. [/quote] No can do. Jurisdictions are prohibited from placing tolls on existing interstates--adding a toll to an untolled highway means either expanding capacity and tolling the new lanes only or building an entirely new interstate. Plus you can't only charge drivers from other states. Besides, any attempt to implement NYC-style congestion pricing would be blocked by Congress. Until DC achieves budget and legislative autonomy, it's a total non-starter.[/quote]
