Oppose Tolls on I-70 in Colorado

Published by Greg Fulton on Apr 14, 2008

We, the undersigned, oppose tolling of existing highway lanes on I-70 as called for within Colorado Senate Bill 213. We believe that taxpayers have already paid for our existing highway system with state and federal highway user fees. To assess tolls on I-70 would represent double taxation.

Further we believe that tolling the existing lanes of I-70 will not solve the transportation problems on this corridor but rather increase congestion.

Finally, adding tolls on I-70, will increase costs for ALL Colorado residents because a substantial amount of our groceries, construction materials, fuel, electronics, mail, and various other consumer and business products travel over I-70. These additional costs will translate into higher prices for Colorado consumers who are already experiencing record fuel prices, increasing food costs, surging foreclosures, and a sluggish economy.

We respectfully ask that the Colorado General Assembly reject SB 213 and any other efforts to place tolls on I-70’s existing lanes.
