CHEYENNE - The Wyoming Department of Transportation says commercial truck drivers and trucking companies would be willing to pay as much as $116 to use Interstate 80 to cross southern Wyoming.

Any toll higher than that would cause truckers to use other routes.

About 40 people attended a public meeting on I-80 tolls in Cheyenne on Tuesday. WyDOT is holding public meetings around the state on the toll proposal.

Patrick Collins, who is overseeing the toll proposal, says a consultant examined trucks' origins and destinations to determine how much truckers could be charged before they decided to take another route.

Larry Johnson, representing the Nebraska Trucking Association, says his group opposes charging tolls on the highway.
