No Tolls on I-80 Means Transportation Trouble for Pennsylvania
No Tolls on I-80 Means Transportation Trouble for Pennsylvania

HARRISBURG - The loss of hundreds of millions in transportation funding
from the failed plan to place tolls on I-80 appears poised to blast a big
pothole in the road to a swift budget resolution this year.
Many in Harrisburg, Democrats at least, thought they were on track for
smooth and - for the first time during Gov. Rendell's administration -
timely budget approval. But now the state has to find another way to
replace the $472 million in toll revenue targeted for road and bridge
repair and aid to public transit.
"It presents an additional challenge between now and the enactment of a
new budget," Rendell spokesman Gary Tuma said Wednesday.
The House approved a $29 billion state budget with no new taxes last month
and sent the legislation to the Senate with a gap of between $750 million
and $1 billion.
That budget did not contain funding for transportation improvements that
were to be underwritten by I-80 tolls.
Now lawmakers have a new hurdle, which Republicans and Democrats agree
needs to be solved quickly because of the pressing demands of
deteriorating roads and struggling mass-transit systems.
The federal government's rejection Tuesday of the I-80 tolls has
resurrected the one word no one wanted to hear in an election year: taxes.
In calling for a special legislative session to deal with transportation,
Rendell said Tuesday, "People understand that if they want safe bridges,
good roads, and potholes eliminated, you cannot wait for the pothole fairy
to do it - you've got to pay for it."
