This doesn't bode well for Gov. Ed Rendell, who still wants to toll Interstate 80 before he leaves office but there's a movement in Congress to make it tougher to install tolls on highways.
The bill, introduced by Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas), would limit the spread of tolling on federal highways.
Senate Bill 1115 would prohibit states, private entities and private-public partnerships from adding tolls on existing federal highways, bridges or tunnels built with federal funding.
The measure is supported by American Trucking Associations.
