No Tolls CT protested Governor Ned Lamont's proposal to add tolls to state highways on Saturday.
One of the street protests held took place in Cromwell.
Ralliers say tolls would hurt the economy and raise the cost of living in the state.
"I go I-384, I-84, Route 9, Route 2. I cannot afford another penny," No Tolls CT member Cathy Hopperstab said.
A spokesperson for Lamont responded to the protests across the state.
“We need a reliable, sustainable revenue source for funding transportation – 40 percent of which will be paid for by people who don’t even live here – that will be necessary to make the infrastructure investment we need to get our state growing again," he said.
The spokesperson continued: “The proposed borrowing of billions of dollars would only saddle our kids and grandkids with decades of debt. The Governor looks forward to continuing this critical conversation with residents, elected officials, and labor and business leaders in the weeks ahead."
