Description:
The Federal Highway Administration on Sept. 11 turned down Pennsylvania’s proposal to put tolls on the state’s stretch of Interstate 80, part of a plan to fund roads and transit in the state. The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission would lease I-80 from the state transportation department, using the new tolls to make lease payments.
