Interstate Tolls Approved for I-5, I-205
The Oregon Legislature passed a bill which calls
for tolls on I-5 and I-205, stretching from the Ore-
gon-Washington border, through the metro area and
ending in Wilsonville. The price will depend on the
time of day, with increased tolls during rush hour. The
law expects to raise $5.3 billion in new taxes and fees
to pay for major expansions and improvements for
mass transportation.
