A panel of Commonwealth Court judges granted the municipalities' request to effectively declare the plan dead because Wolf's Department of Transportation had not followed the law.

One key element on which the court agreed with the municipalities is the claim that PennDOT was required to propose specific bridges to toll when it asked the Public-Private Transportation Partnership Board in 2020 for permission to move forward with a bridge-tolling plan.

Republican lawmakers hailed the decision, while Wolf's administration would not immediately say whether it will appeal it to the state Supreme Court. Wolf’s push for tolling comes as states increasingly look to user fees to make up for declining gas tax revenue that is not keeping up with the demands of fixing highways and bridges.

Wolf, a Democrat, last year called for phasing out the gas tax, and empaneled a commission that produced recommendations to replace the money, leaning heavily on shifting to a vehicle-miles-traveled fee that numerous states are exploring.
