RhodeWorks Truck Toll & E-ZPass Disputes
Rhode Island operates RhodeWorks truck-only tolls (Class 8+ vehicles) on I-95. Passenger vehicles do not pay RI tolls. Notices to passenger vehicles are erroneous (often due to ALPR misclassification). Defences: (1) vehicle not Class 8+; (2) plate cloning; (3) device misread. RhodeWorks tolls were challenged in American Trucking Associations v. Alviti (1st Cir. 2022) — the litigation history can support dismissal of older notices.
Legal basis
RIGL §42-13.1-1 et seq. (RhodeWorks); American Trucking Associations v. Alviti, 14 F.4th 76 (1st Cir. 2022)
