ATA’s move for injunction on Rhode Island tolls denied
The American Trucking Associations was denied its request for an injunction to halt the collection of trucks-only tolls in Rhode Island as a lawsuit challenging those tolls proceeds through the federal courts.
ATA, as previously reported, filed for the injunction in March. The decision, according to the Providence Journal, was handed down earlier this month. The state of Rhode Island’s RhodeWorks trucks-only tolls were implemented in 2018, and given denial of the injunction, the state will continue to collect them.
The suit is proceeding through the courts as the state pulls in millions from 11 sites, the Journal reported. The 12th, on Route 195 and the Washington Bridge, is currently being tested.
