Explosive growth in North Texas has meant more strain on limited transportation funding.
Collin County transportation funding solutions are:
- Toll HOV lanes or new lanes on existing roadways
- Local residents oppose it, but it’s the only way to get additional funding until more state transportation funding happens
Collin County Officials Point to the Followign Transportation Funding Problems:
- “state budget dedicated to road funding has decreased from about 33 percent to about 9 percent”
- Insufficient fuel tax revenue from fuel efficient cars
