P3 Status Report: Texas

Twenty toll roads have been built in Texas since the Dallas North Tollway was opened in 1968. Except for some toll authority roads in Dallas and Houston, that may be it. Anti-toll sentiment has grown so intense that Texas A&M was paid by the legislature last year to study the consequences of shutting down all 20 toll roads. That’s not likely, but new toll roads and P3s are almost certainly off the table for the foreseeable future.
