That's the state gas tax we all pay at the pump, 2nd highest in the US.

He's ordering a commission of lawmakers, transportation experts and so on to report back to him by Aug 1 of this year.

For me, tolling I-80 should be back on the table. It was requested by Rendell when he was governor, but for some reason denied by the federal gov't. I-80 is almost all through traffic. I-81 should be considered, too, since it's a north/south through traffic road. I'm sure there are other interstates although I think trying to toll I-95 wouldn't be politically feasible.

The PA state police would have to be funded from a different pot of money, too, like fees for the policing service they currently provide at no extra charge to communities who choose to disband their own police force.
