Truckers continue to fight back against a recently unveiled proposal in Rhode Island to toll only truckers to pay for the state’s transportation needs. OOIDA and the Rhode Island Trucking Association, in a letter to the Federal Highway Administration, question whether the so-called “user fee” on commercial trucks violates federal tolling laws.
“While we strongly oppose this misguided proposal, we do have a few questions regarding the state’s ability to implement such a plan while staying in compliance with federal law. We hope that your office will be able to assist us,” OOIDA and the Rhode Island Trucking Association wrote to Acting Administrator Gregory Nadeau of the Federal Highway Administration.
