Still have tokens from the I-95 tolls. Had a plate for the Wilbur Cross/Merritt(Wallingford, Milford, Greenwich) and tear out tickets for the Hartford bridges.
Tough to be a traveling salesman in the '80's, early '90's in CT.
No they didn’t get rid of it. The state built their own emission stations [I’m sure to the tune of millions and manned them w/ state DMV workers]; I’m sure you’re surprised they then closed them and went back to indie garages to do the tax test ...I believe it’s up to $20/year; mandatory annually [unless your car is over 25y/o]
Those toll plates cost $75/yr, IIRC. Removed around ‘83....after a semi crashed into the cars waiting at the Stratford toll plaza that killed seven people; Dumbo Malloy is talking about them again to pay for his $100 billion dollar plan for a transportation overhaul, and no money to pay for it. Typical radical democrat.
I can’t imagine them putting tolls on I-95....that stretch of road thru Connecticut has to be one of the most dangerous highways in the US. It’s a deathtrap as it is now. Then they are talking about installing “Open Road Tolling.” Idiots.
