[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the commuters from outside the District are slowly creeping back in I would love to see them pay a commuter tax.[/quote] The bridges onto the Mall (Memorial and 395) would remain Federal, I thin[b]k. No tolling on those if are under Fed control. [/b] The Key & Chain Bridges, plus 66, could be tolled. Likewise, DC could just assess a congestion charge on its streets, similar to that in place in London. The license plates are just scanned and tolls assessed electronically based on congestion zone.[/quote] I don’t get this. There’s already a toll on the HOV lanes on 395 coming from VA. Why couldn’t DC do the same?[/quote] VA is tolling the HOV lanes which is permitted under federal law. A congestion toll requires federal approval and there are only so many slots for such programs.
