New Toll Road Reform Bill Aims to Improve Houston's Roads with $80 Million

A new toll road reform bill could significantly enhance Houston's roads by changing how Harris County spends extra toll revenue, potentially up to $80 million. SB 27-22, which has passed the Texas Senate and is now headed to the House, mandates that 70% of leftover toll funds be allocated to fixing county roads, while blocking spending on projects like hike and bike trails.
