Alternatives to highway tolls in Connecticut

Mike Riley, president of MTAC talks with Al Terzi about the idea of the State bringing tolls to Connecticut highways.  The interview aired on May 10 on Fox 61 during The Real Story.

Riley and MTAC suggests increasing the federal gasoline tax as it would be easier to manage than implementing tolls. The federal gasoline tax has remained at 18.4 cents per gallon since 1993, and is not indexed to inflation.
