	Toll road - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tolls were used in the Holy Roman Empire in the 14th century and 15th century.
		Toll roads peaked in the mid 19th century, and by the turn of the twentieth century most toll roads were taken over by state highway departments.
		In some situations where the tolls were increased or felt to be unreasonably high, informal shunpiking by individuals escalated into a form of boycott by regular users, with the goal of applying the financial stress of lost toll revenue to the authority determining the levy.

	USATODAY.com - Toll lanes: A freer ride, for a price (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Toll revenue grew to an average of $13 million annually, and the Orange County Transportation Authority ended up purchasing the lanes for $207.5 million.
		Toll rates can be changed automatically, which allows managers to use supply and demand to control congestion: Tolls go up as traffic increases, thereby thinning out the drivers unwilling to pay more.
		Virginia is considering similar proposals to add toll lanes to its sections of the Capital Beltway (I-495), I-95 and the 365-mile length of I-81.

	Toll Road Facilities
		The toll agreement is executed between the Federal Highway Administration, the State Department of Transportation, and the toll authority.
		The issue of whether a toll facility is to become free when debt is retired or at some other future point in time or whether tolls are to be continued indefinitely is a matter to be determined by the State.
		Decisions regarding the amount of tolls charged are made by the toll authority subject to requirements under State and local laws and regulations.

	Toll Houses & Bridges
		The Addison Toll House is the only hand-cut native stone toll house in Pennsylvania; it is an authentic reflection of the structure as it existed in 1835, when toll collection began.
		Toll Collector William Condon, who lived in the house with his family, reported income of $1,758.87 for that year.
		The advent of the automobile in the early twentieth century rescued the road from disrepair, and by the 1920's the National Road was reincarnated as U.S. The Searights Toll House is one of two remaining of the original six commissioned toll houses in Pennsylvania.

	The Environmental Law & Policy Center :: The Illinois Toll Authority's Financial Crisis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		According to the report, the Toll Authority lacks the resources to administer all but the most minimal improvements to its ailing infrastructure, effectively consigning its 274-mile road network to a state of intractable disrepair.
		Forecasts included in the report show that tolls across the 274-mile network would be doubled under Option C and tripled under option D using the Toll Authority's current funding structure.
		Such is the case with the original toll roads, and recent news reports have noted that tollway officials knew from the time the roads were first constructed in the 1950s that they would require a comprehensive overhaul within 40 years of opening.

	Putting Customers in the Driver's Seat: The Case for Tolls (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Tolls are only to be employed when it is impossible to find tax revenues to finance roads, and it is good public policy to retire debt and end tolls as soon as possible.
		Toll agencies are usually aware that customers expect premium service because of the toll they are paying, so they generally make an effort to provide something extra—quicker salting and snow plowing, motorist assistance patrols, better maintained signage, lighting, guardrails, and the like.
		Toll roads are most appropriately compared with freeways and expressways—other roads with divided medians, grade separation from cross roads, access control, breakdown shoulders, etc. According to USDOT statistics, the nation’s freeways and expressways had 8.6 fatalities per billion miles traveled in 1998.

		Supervisor Jake McGoldrick, chair of the San Francisco Transportation Authority, will ask the agency to study a downtown toll zone -- whereby drivers would need to purchase a daily pass to drive in The City's most congested streets -- as a potential solution to the Municipal Transportation Agency's woeful budget problems.
		The study would determine the size of the toll zone, how much money it would generate and how much congestion it could eliminate.
		McGoldrick's proposal comes at a politically opportune time, with Muni considering a controversial 25 cent raise in fares, and transit activists mounting an increasingly vocal campaign to shift Muni's budget difficulties away from the people who ride the buses.
