From OregonLive.com:

Oregon will ask federal highway officials for permission to toll congested sections of Interstate 5 and 205, but state transportation leaders don’t plan to stop there.
The state’s top transportation decisionmakers also want to develop a plan to study tolling Oregon 217, I-405, I-84, U.S. 26 and other highways in the metro area. They want that plan by the end of January.
Sean O’Hollaren, a state transportation commissioner and Nike executive, said the state had a duty to look beyond just tolling I-5 and I-205 because congestion is an issue everywhere. “We are not being honest if we only look at these corridors,” he said.
