No tolls are needed. Taxes are very high all over that pays for everything. No reason other then greed on the part of the gov’t.... pay for pensions as an example while law-abiding motorists non gov’t workers are screwed out of their retirement income or jobs in the first place because of $1.5 million being taken by the gov’t instead of going to pay people to work.
My aunt & uncle were paying $9,000 a year in property taxes in New Jersey for a single story rambler house in 2003. They paid $43,000 to build a house in 1959. The gov’t has been robbing people forever.
I agree, if there is a toll road, there should be a freeway which allows the same route at no cost. Indiana has done a GREAT job of doing so. You can cross Indiana on a beautiful toll road, or, a few miles south, you can cross free.
You can complain about tolls all you want, but nobody -- especially a trucking company -- is obligated to use it. There are plenty of "free" alternatives for them to use, but they decided to rip off their fellow motorists instead.

Great -- I hope they left. At least a toll is an optional "tax," isn't it?
