Pat Jones, Executive Director and CEO of the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association (IBTTA), the worldwide association representing toll facility owners and operators and the businesses that serve them, released the following statement:

“IBTTA congratulates President-Elect Joe Biden and Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris on their historic election victory. 

“From the new express lanes along State Highway 288 near Houston to the implementation of all electronic tolling across the length of the Pennsylvania Turnpike – America’s first superhighway – tolling is a powerful and effective tool to fund and finance road infrastructure and reduce congestion.

“IBTTA and its members stand ready to work with Congress and the new Biden Administration to reinvest in our vital infrastructure and help America recover from COVID-19.”
