Local and national campaigners have said a report, due to be published in London on Tuesday, could change the face of discussions about the tolls.
Jenny Walton, who chairs Humber Action Against Tolls, said: "I don't think the report is going to move mountains but I do think it is going to shake them up a bit.
"We have got to see what the reaction is to the study. They tossed the petition in the bin."
The Scunthorpe Telegraph's 'A Toll Too Far' campaign also received a boost from the National Alliance Against Tolls.
National co-ordinator John McGoldrick has written to the Secretary of State for Transport, now Geoff Hoon MP, to lay out the arguments against tolls.
He said they acted as a barrier to growth and divide communities.
