Thompson Calls on PennDOT to Drop Plan to Toll Canoe Creek Bridges

December 3, 2021

WASHINGTON, D.C.U.S. Representative Glenn "GT" Thompson submitted public comments to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) strongly opposing the proposed P3 Major Bridge Tolling plan on Canoe Creek Bridges in Clarion County.

Rep. Thompson, who has been an outspoken critic of the proposal, questioned how PennDOT determined to toll the Canoe Creek Bridges without conducting its due diligence.

"My concerns remain that PennDOT has reached the foregone conclusion that tolls are required, despite not having conducted studies on safety, traffic diversion, local impacts, anticipated revenue or duration of tolling contracts, environmental impacts, or a host of other necessary items to make such a major policy decision," Rep. Thompson wrote.
