The Rhode Island Trucking Association has expressed disappointment in a recent court decision allowing the reactivation of truck tolls in the state. The association, which represents over 200 trucking companies, argues that the tolls place an unfair burden on truckers and ultimately hurt consumers. This decision comes after a legal battle between the state and the trucking industry, with the court ultimately ruling in favor of the state’s ability to collect tolls.
The association has vowed to continue fighting against the tolls, stating that they will negatively impact the economy and drive up costs for businesses and consumers. They argue that tolls are not a sustainable way to fund infrastructure projects and that alternative solutions should be explored.
Despite the court’s decision, the Rhode Island Trucking Association remains steadfast in their opposition to the tolls. They believe that the tolls are a detriment to the trucking industry and are committed to advocating for fairer policies. Stay tuned for updates on this ongoing battle between the state and the trucking industry over truck tolls.
