Just raise the fuel tax. Tolls create traffic problems and I’m very careful to avoid them because of that.
Higher fuel taxes can be part of the solution in the short to medium term but will become less effective over time as the fleet gradually transitions to BEVs.
Tax tires then.
That was my first thought. I bet most in VA have EZPass. I am sure it's because they're scared shitless of losing the tax revenues, and want to collect on every road, which doesn't work well with the transponder approach.
