SPEAK UP NOW against the proposed I-95 tolls. This issue is in fact one that the Sussex County Board of Supervisors all agree is NOT in our best interest. Thank You BOS for uniting on this important issue. You can work together, it should feel good in doing so! Thanks again!!!
Truckers are hoping to steer support on the Internet to keep a
toll plaza off Interstate 95, near Emporia. Several trucking associations
started the online petition to keep the toll plaza off of I-95 in that area.
It
includes the National Association of Truck Stop Operators, the American
Trucking Association, and the Virginia Trucking Association. The organizations
are against a proposal by VDOT to build a toll plaza in Sussex County between
mile markers 20 and 24.
It would
cost $4 for personal vehicles and $12 for trucks. There would also be a fee for
exit and entrance ramps before and after the toll plaza.
Some of
the reasons against the toll include claims that it's a waste of taxpayer
money, it will work against businesses near the interstate, and it will cause a
high volume of traffic in that area.
VDOT says
the plan would bring in the millions of dollars needed for repairs to the
well-traveled route
