(Video) The White House sent a plan to Congress yesterday that would allow states to turn federal interstates into toll roads, which they currently cant do. This would be a failed move to collect monies for improving interstates and serve only to track motorists. “Tolling has proven to be an inefficient mechanism for collecting transportation revenue, consuming up to 20 percent of revenue generated, and those paying the toll may not even see that road improved because the president’s plan would allow toll revenue to go to other projects in the state,” states Miles Morin, spokesman for the Alliance for Toll-Free Interstates. “The option for states to place tolls on existing interstate capacity has existed for 23 years and not a single state has used tolls in this way – not just because the idea is unpopular, but because it’s bad policy.” Of course, the administration knows this. Its just another way Obama can shoot holes in our economy while simultaneously tracking us on interstates, which is already happening in New York where drivers are tracked by their toll tags thats mounted to their windshields, even when the drivers are no where near a toll booth. You can see this tracking in action in this video on our website, where one driver, concerned for his privacy, shows how his toll pass is scanned multiple times without him being near a toll booth. “I took my E-ZPass and figured out how to let me know when it was transmitting,” he stated. “Then I reverse engineered the E-ZPass protocol radio.” truthandaction.org/obama-sends-plan-toll-roads-congress/
