Bay Area freeways are about to start tolls and lowering speed limits. Express lanes are being added to Highway 101 in San Mateo County and can begin as soon as 2022. According to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission assistant director of communications, there is a plan to add tolls to various lanes as a way to reduce gas emissions.
This package is likely to include all-lane tolling in select freeway corridors strictly as a planning assumption in order to help the final Plan Bay Area 2050 meet the 19 percent reduction in per-capita greenhouse gas emissions mandated by state law
