As always, THANK YOU for continuing to research excellent information regarding the DEBACLE the I-205 TOLLING project will bring to citizens along the I-205 corridor.
Average citizens need to understand that if this isn't stopped HERE & NOW, it is merely the camel's nose getting into the tent and the TOLLING will get worse for EVERYBODY in the greater Portland metro area.
Generally, TOLLING is PROHIBITED on federal highways. Oregon has one of just 17 "exemptions" for a "test" program on tolling existing roads. We need to convince the Federal Highway Administration to KILL THE EXEMPTION on tolling Oregon roads.
The traffic diversion will be devastating for EVERY Clackamas County community. ODOT already WASTES so much of the people's money. We can't afford to let them waste even more!
I would sure like to see our Federal level Legislators do their job!! Tolls on an Interstate FREEway are also a Federal Issue.
We deserve a Townhall meeting with every one of our U.S. Senators and Representatives. This needs to start soon, two weeks would be great. Zoom and technology make this easy.
Which of our Legislators wants to be first???
Time is important!!
ODOT still has the OK to spend 101 Million of our tax dollars.
A Toll test will be like an Execution test. The financial waste will be extreme and cause permanent damage. The Toll program will be Too Big To Fail and will be forever even when it is shown to be a disaster.
It not a test of TOLLING. It will be permanent if the voters don't sign IP-4 petitions.
The program is a test. If the results are horrible, then Congress won't authorize any more. If they view the test program as a success, then they'll rush ahead and authorize even more.

Generally, federal law prohibits TOLLING on an interstate freeway.
But Oregon has managed to get one of 17 permits for a "test" program, if I understand what happened.
And yes, the Oregon members of Congress should work to prevent Oregon from being allocated one of those exemptions!
