An authority may impose and collect tolls on facilities within its confines, subject to the approval of the Commonwealth Transportation Board, and cities or counties within the authority may, by ordinance, levy and impose an additional local sales and use tax, provided that all cities or counties within the authority adopt by ordinance the additional tax. An authority shall report annually on the allocation and expenditure of funds, including the use of funds to reduce congestion and improve air quality within the confines of the authority.
