A per-mile highway toll? It's being studied for the Bay Area.

4. Oh, I didn't read it. It's just one of the excuses toll road proponents use to justify the fleecing.

.

There will be the following:

1) An administrations board who will be paid six to seven figures each.
2) Multi-million dollar bond contracts to chosen financial institutions to manage the bonds.
3) Employees to work toll and maintenance, along with the provisioned equipment.
4) Contracts to gasoline and rest stop companies and food merchants.
5) Purchase of toll scanners and cameras to capture toll evaders and the firm processing those issues.
6) Bid contracts to towing companies, as AAA and other car clubs will not be allowed on it.

And a whole bunch of other things.

People will still drive, whether there is a toll road or not. That excuse they give to reduce traffic is very weak and does not pan out with the scores of other toll systems across the USA. People have to drive to work, and can't afford hours on a bus or relocation.
