In order to avoid such tolls you'd need to have a HOV with an EZ pass installed. If you can't make roads wider, the only way to limit congestion is to make it prohibitively expensive to drive solo.
The GOP wants to convert many roads and bridges to tolls. Just wait. Many roads that are currently free will be converted to toll roads.
Some of those billionaire elitists connected to Trump and the GOP likely will be awarded the contracts for the toll roads. They allow their 25 year old sons and daughters to run the business. A gift for them to get started in life.

As a practical matter they are already tolled, you are paying about 1.5 cents per mile on average in fuel taxes. What needs to be done is wipe the slate clean and institute a tax per mile based on the weight of the vehicle.

Why don't you provide us a link to prove your point? Or you could just keep making things up.
the changes in very liberal northern Virginia (NOVA) for I64, were made by the liberals.....btw Loudoun County Supervisor Ron Meyer a Republican member of a key Virginia transportation panel said*he plans to introduce a measure calling for immediate changes to the tolling.In the draft resolution, Meyer contends the Virginia Department of Transportation “never told the public or this commission about this extremely high level of tolling before implementation.” https://wtop.com/dc-transit/2017/12/...66-toll-hours/
2014- A transportation proposal by the Obama administration to remove a prohibition on tolls for existing Interstate highway
2008 presentation by the liberal Puget Sound Regional Council, officials pushed a plan to toll every highway by the year 2040 in order to raise billions in revenue to improve infrastructure.
Houston and Texas in general has developed a toll road overeliance. In the Houston area, every time a new road is built, if the government can make it a toll road, they do. Once the road becomes tolled, it never stops being tolled. Our oldest toll road has been charging since 1989, enough to pay for itself 12 times over. And we're still paying for it and at least 9 others just in this city.
Yep this is the work of leftists. They tried to make this change in NYC but thankfully the city needed the approval of the state to move forward and the gop controlled state senate wouldn't sign on.
