突发新闻 ——9月21日, 2022, the United States District Court for Rhode Island ruled that the State of Rhode Island’s truck-only tolling plan (known as RhodeWorks) was unconstitutional.
卡车运输业,以 美国卡车运输协会 (ATA)和三位共同原告(坎伯兰农场,M&M Transport bet9平台游戏 and New England Motor Freight), filed the suit in 2018. 他们认为 RhodeWorks计划 violates the Constitution’s Commerce Clause by discriminating against out-of-state trucking companies and by designing the tolls in a way that does not fairly approximate motorists’ use of the roads
诉状说:
“这个收费制度的目的是, 事实上, impose discriminatory and disproportionate burdens on out-of-state operators and on truckers who are operating in interstate commerce. 通过设计, the tolls fall exclusively on the types of trucks that are most likely to be engaged in the interstate transport of cargo, while exempting automobiles and the smaller vehicles that are relatively more likely to be engaged in intrastate travel. The toll program also limits the tolls collected from trucks that make multiple trips within Rhode Island in a single day, 一个功能是明确地打算, 事实上, provide disproportionate benefits to Rhode Island operators and those engaged in intrastate commerce.这场争论赢得了胜利.
The reactions from the trucking industry leaders were swift: “We told Rhode Island’s leaders from the start that their crazy scheme was not only discriminatory, 但非法,ATA总裁兼首席执行官Chris Spear表示. “我们很高兴法院同意了. 任何想要针对我们行业的国家, you better bring your A-game… because we’re not rolling over.”
也, the Rhode Island Trucking Association President Chris Maxwell stated, “我们经历了漫长的道路才走到这一步. But this is a tremendous day for our industry – not just here in Rhode Island, 但是在全国范围内. 如果我们没有获胜, these tolls would have spread across the country and this ruling sends a strong signal to other states that trucking is not to be targeted as a piggy bank.”
