Also to comply with the provisions of 23 USC 129, school buses will now be required to pay the Class C, $137.00 toll. DOT will offer a rebate back to the $11.00 Class G rate at the toll booth effective from October 1st</p>

-Alaska has only one toll tunnel: '''Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel''', better known as the '''Whittier tunnel'''. This Alaska toll tunnel is 2.5 mile long and connects the port city of Whittier on Prince William Sound to the Seward Highway and Southcentral Alaska.
+In Alaska, there exists a solitary toll tunnel: the '''Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel''', more commonly referred to as the Whittier tunnel. This Alaskan toll tunnel spans 2.5 miles, linking the port town of Whittier on Prince William Sound to the Seward Highway and Southcentral Alaska.
 The tunnel <ref>[http://www.dot.state.ak.us/creg/whittiertunnel/index.shtml  The Whittier tunnel]</ref> is used by both automobiles and trains to travel to the  Whittier city in Alaska. It allows a single lane of automobile traffic to drive directly over the railroad track area. Automobiles and trains take turns using the tunnel. The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities operates the tunnel as a highway most of the day during the summer and winter.
