Here's the fallout from Kotek's decision to stop all tolling, as well as a history of promises made and then broken about tolling.

A couple of things I took from this article:

• Oregon has reduced GHG emissions for most sectors except transportation
• Tolling was part of the plan to reduce transportation emissions
• Tolling on the I-5 Bridge will drastically reduce traffic on it, which obviates the need for more lanes
• Only tolling on I-5 while leaving 205 free creates huge issues
• The state was counting on tolling money for all of its projects, so car dependence is hurting car dependence, which is a small silver lining
