SB 61 North Carolina Senate · 2025-2026 Session

I-95 Toll Prohibition.

SB 61 prohibits tolls on North Carolina's Interstate 95 for ten years and requires the North Carolina General Assembly to approve any future tolling on this highway. The bill amends state law to explicitly exclude I-95 from tolling authority, preventing the state toll authority from collecting tolls during this period. After the ten-year ban, the General Assembly would need to vote to allow tolls, rather than the authority acting unilaterally. This directly affects drivers using I-95 and the state's process for managing highway funding.
