I work with plenty of people paying in excess of $10 per day in tolls around VA and MD. When I worked in transportation policy, I met several real estate agents that were looking at $100+/wk with the new tolls going in on the Hampton Roads midtown and downtown bridge/tunnels. I feel fortunate to only have to pay tolls to go to the outlet mall (makes me think twice, too) and the beach. I could get into the realities of how difficult it would be to require every car in the US to have an EZ Pass-like device to charge a usage tax (when I lived in VA, my neighbor had one car, it was "FARM USE ONLY" and he drove it all over town - tons of unregistered cars, unlicensed drivers, etc), bikes would actually be impossible without an enormous outpouring of public funds, which won't happen any time soon.
