Bunt, can you clarify if what Sachs says regarding FASTER permitting the state to turn general purpose lanes on interstate highways into managed lanes is accurate?

From what I gather, FASTER does permit this on state highways, but this wouldn't be feasible for interstate highways that were built as part of the Federal Highway Act as there is only a limited federal tolling pilot program that is completely filled up with existing projects and would require Congressional action to be opened up further.
