Once again, you can't make this stuff up. 10-cent "training tolls" are set to start Aug. 19, but RITBA has yet to figure out how to collect the toll from non EZ-pass drivers. Even better, RITBA Director Darlington says it will be the legal responsibility of the driver to contact RITBA and pay the toll, not for RITBA to have a system to collect them. Honestly, this is the organization some want to turn OUR bridge over to? The Committee set up to consider toll-alternatives needs to come up with a fair, non-destructive means of maintaining ALL bridges in RI and end this toll circus.
