The plan is to toll all lanes on I-5 and I-205 beginning ‘at the border’ with Washington
The Oregon Department of Transportation will hold two events where citizens can view information about the Regional Mobility Pricing Project (RMPP). The plan is to toll all lanes on I-5 and I-205 beginning “at the border” with Washington.
These tolls would be in addition to tolls charged for the Interstate Bridge Replacement Program (IBR).
The first event will be Friday (Sept. 29) at the downtown Vancouver Library from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The second location will be Saturday (Sept. 30) for the Vietnamese Moon Festival, from 1-5 p.m.. It will be at the Salmon Creek Elementary School at 1601 NE 129th Street, Vancouver.
Clark County Today has published several articles on Oregon’s Tolling proposals here and here.
