Panel to Discuss Tolls, Bottlenecks
The Orange County Transportation Commission is scheduled to discuss on Monday solutions to highway bottlenecks and using tolls to fund the proposed Foothill and Eastern freeways.
The 9 a.m. session will take place at the county Hall of Administration in Santa Ana.

Another study suggested that a toll road is feasible for the Eastern Transportation Corridor.
