If Port Authority is smart, they could re-route all of their western bus routes serving places like Carnegie, Settlers Ridge, Robinson, etc through the West Busway.

Getting rid of federal restrictions on tolling interstates was a pet project of Rendell’s, wasn’t it?
I could see tolling happening if gas tax revenues continue to drop and the gas tax isn’t raised—if the choice is between tolling and vehicle-mile counters, I could see tolling becoming favored (or the gas tax being raised, for that matter).
