Plain-English Summary

The proposal would prevent Washington, D.C. from charging drivers a fee to enter congested areas of the city during peak traffic times. This affects commuters and residents who drive in D.C., as well as the city government's ability to use tolls as a way to reduce traffic and raise money for transportation improvements. The measure is currently under review by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
