There was talk several years ago in MA about "privatizing" some of the state highways. At the time, a lawyer friend told me highway privatization would never work, because the liability/ litigation problems for investors would be a nightmare. I suspect what is happening in Texas is public freeways being converted to public toll roads?
There is a school of thought in economics that advocates peak-travel time tolls to reduce congestion. Is that what's being advocated in Texas? Ellen Frank
