Toll credits reward states that spend their toll revenue on projects that would otherwise require federal-aid support. States and metropolitan planning organizations are eligible to earn credits based on the amount of toll revenue used by the toll authority for building, improving, or maintaining highways, bridges, or tunnels that serve interstate commerce.
Toll credits do not generate new money! Instead, they can be used as a "soft match" substitute for the non-federal share of most highway and public transportation projects, reducing the burden on states and freeing funding for other transportation projects.
For more information on toll credits and how to take advantage of them in your state, email tollcreditsinfo@dot.gov.
