The CRTPO I-77 South toll lane project was on the regular agenda. Toll lanes on I-77 South could affect commute costs and traffic patterns for Monroe drivers.
City Council - Jun 17, 2026
The regional transportation planning organization voted in May 2026 to rescind support for the I-77 South Toll Lane project, and Monroe's delegate voted with that majority despite a decade of city support for the project. Monroe's council wanted to formally reaffirm its backing and push CRTPO to reconsider, arguing the corridor is vital for freight, commerce, and the regional economy.
