The DC ROADS Act would prohibit the District of Columbia government from implementing a congestion toll, which is a fee charged to drivers entering or traveling through certain areas during peak traffic times. The bill prevents both the D.C. Council from passing such legislation and the Mayor from enforcing it. This prohibition would apply to any roadways, bridges, tunnels, or ramps within or entering Washington, D.C. The legislation modifies the D.C. Home Rule Act to add this restriction to the list of actions the local government cannot take. There is no specific funding or implementation timeline mentioned in the bill, as it is primarily a prohibition on a potential future policy rather than an authorization of new programs or spending.
