{"text":"Rhode Island transportation officials say that they collected more revenue than expected in the first year of their controversial truck-only tolling program.\n\nThe Rhode Island Department of Transportion (RIDOT) reports that between June 11, 2018, and June 10, 2019, the agency collected $7.26 million from their two toll gantries located on I-95 in the southern part of the state.\n\nRIDOT had predicted that they would bring in $7 million in truck toll revenue in their first year, so the actual amount of money collected slightly exceeded expectations.\n\nRIDOT is opening up multiple new toll gantries over the course of the next year and expects to bring in $25 million in truck-only tolls next year.\n\nRead more: https://cdllife.com/2019/rhode-island-raked-in-more-than-7-million-in-truck-only-tolls-in-a-year/ ","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true}
