ARE TOLLS COMING TO YOUR FAVORITE BUMPER TO BUMPER ROAD? Neither Malloy nor Foley have ruled tolls out entirely, but they are far from embracing them. Foley said he would consider tolls only as a means to reduce traffic congestion, and not as a source of new revenue – even for the Special Transportation Fund. That means if tolls are added to highways – and therefore increase revenues for the state’s coffers – Foley would insist those receipts be used to lower gasoline taxes or some other levy by a corresponding amount. The governor, who has said repeatedly that he isn’t proposing tolls, said he would consider them if there’s a “doomsday” scenario in which federal transportation aid to states drops dramatically.
