ICYMI: For Whom the Toll Tolls

Ganahl Transportation Plan Will Cost Coloradans

Yesterday, Heidi Ganahl laid out her vague plan for transportation–a department she said she’d cut earlier this year at a primary debate. 

What she glossed over were the parts of her vague wishlist that will cost taxpayers millions in increased tolls. Ganahl actually tried to insist that her plan would reduce costs for taxpayers, when she would actually just make our roads pay-to-play.

Here’s what they’re saying:

• “Plans…will likely incorporate tolled express lanes — an element Ganahl’s plan embraces in a big way.” – Denver Post

• “Ganahl’s plan calls for miles of new toll lanes… [and] continuous toll lanes from Castle Rock to Fort Collins.” – CPR

“The core of Heidi’s ‘plan’ is to install Lexus lanes on every highway. How does that help regular Coloradans who can’t afford thousands of dollars in toll fees every year?” – Colorado Democratic Party spokesperson Kailee Stiles
