PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- PennDOT wants to know if you would be willing to pay to cross a bridge or drive through a tunnel.

PennDOT wants feedback on new ideas to raise funding.

PennDOT says most of its cash comes from the gas tax, but gas mileage is getting better and fewer miles are being driven so not as much money is coming in.

Among the ideas to increase funding is to toll bridges and tunnels, charge a congestion fee for driving during busy times or charge a fee for how many miles you drive each year.

Feedback will be accepted through mid-December. Click here for more
