Blocks new traffic tolls for drivers in Washington D.C.
This bill would stop Washington D.C. from charging drivers new fees to enter or pass through certain parts of the city. This means residents, commuters, and visitors would not have to pay potential congestion tolls. Currently, D.C. could create these tolls, but this bill would ban them.
Today, Washington D.C.'s city council and mayor have the power to create and enforce congestion tolls. If this bill becomes law, they would be permanently banned from doing so. This change would also be written into D.C.'s main governing law, the Home Rule Act.
