Taxed To Build The Highway, Taxed To Maintain The Highway

And now taxed to drive the highway you paid for.

Tolls Proposed on Route 422

"The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission is expected to release a report on Monday that calls for the creation of an 11 cent per mile toll on portions of Route 422, according to philly.com.

The plan, which calls for drivers to pay 11 cents per mile, comes from the findings of a multi-year study, according to philly.com. Drivers traveling the most heavily trafficked 25-mile stretch of the highway-- from Douglassville to the Route 202 interchange-- would be tolled. The cost of a one-way trip through that area would be $2.75."
