The first deadline in the process to eliminate tolls and implement a Statewide transportation-funding system is April 1. Unless legislation extending the "placeholder" 10-cent tolls is passed by then, RI Turnpike & Bridge Authority could implement their full toll scheme.
With the transportation funding bill to be considered as part of the budget process in June, and a lawsuit that could also eliminate tolls still pending, it'd be irresponsible to not extend the "placeholder" period a few months until the process is completed. (link to Herald News article below)
