tolling

Tolling refers to the practice of charging drivers a fee for using specific roads, bridges, or tunnels. The funds collected are typically used to maintain, repair, and improve these transportation infrastructures. Tolling can be implemented through various methods, such as electronic toll collection or traditional toll booths. It helps manage traffic flow, reduce congestion, and generate revenue for infrastructure projects. Essentially, tolling is a way to share the costs of roadway usage among those who use it most, ensuring better maintenance and more efficient transportation systems.
