Federal court upholds Rhode Island's truck tolls for bridge repairs, rejecting industry challenges.

A federal appeals court upheld Rhode Island's truck tolling program, which charges tractor-trailers on the state's highways to fund bridge repairs. While the court ruled that caps on tolls for local traffic were unconstitutional, the overall system can remain. The decision supports the RhodeWorks program, signed into law in 2016, which has faced legal challenges from the trucking industry.
