Tolls for large freight trucks and other vehicle/trailer combinations with three or more axles would rise by 50 cents per axle per year between 2026 and 2030, officials said.BATA and Metropolitan Transportation Commission chair Alfredo Pedroza said in a statement, 'Working families really feel the impact, not just in transportation but back at home with utilities, groceries, children. This one is hard. But it's the right thing to do.
