The Utah governor also takes issue with the fact that if Arizona is selected to participate in the FHA program, electronic tolling technologies could be used to exempt Arizona residents who live near I-15 from the tolls.
Herbert says he finds it "most egregious" that "everybody else will pay the toll, but if you're from Arizona, you will not have to pay the toll."
Arizona Department of Transportation spokesman Timothy Tait said the concept of tolling on that stretch of I-15 will take "years of study and coordination before a conclusion is reached in how to best make the necessary infrastructure investments on I-15."
In the meantime, the department "remains committed to its duty to ensure that I-15 remains a safe corridor," Tait said.

I-15 crosses a little tiny corner of northwest Arizona. The issue of building and maintaining this little stretch of I-15 has been a problem from the beginning. The governors of Utah and Nevada should call upon Congress to annex this area into More..
Utah actually gave Arizona some of its freeway money back in the 60s to get this section built, Arizona gave the same argument back then. I agree with Dutchman to have that section annexed into the State of Utah and we'll take care of it. It makes More..
