This legislative proposal, titled the DC ROADS Act , aims to prevent the implementation of congestion tolls within the District of Columbia. It explicitly prohibits the Council of the District of Columbia from enacting and the Mayor from enforcing any act, resolution, or requirement that would impose such a toll, thereby protecting drivers from charges for entering or passing through designated zones. The bill further amends the District of Columbia Home Rule Act , adding a new provision that restricts the Council's authority to enact any measure imposing a congestion toll. This ensures the prohibition is integrated into the foundational law governing the District, making it a permanent restriction on local legislative power. A "congestion toll" is defined as any charge for entry into or passing through a "congestion tolling zone," which includes all roadways, bridges, tunnels, approaches, or ramps within or entering the District's geographic area.
