Governor Ralph Northam is proposing increases in tractor-trailer registration fees and gas taxes statewide to put funding into the Interstate 81 Corridor Improvement Plan and other roadway projects throughout Virginia.
After backlash from tolling proposals, the newly-formed Interstate 81 Committee will study what drivers will tolerate when it comes to paying for roadway improvements.
Some of the options to fund improvements along the I-81 corridor are instituting a heavy commercial vehicle toll, a regional fuel tax, and a regional retail sales and use tax.
