- From 2001 and 2012 Texas built more than 6,600 new highway miles, with and without tolls.
- More than any other state.
- it’s among the lowest in the country when adjusted for Texas’ fast-growing population.
- These interests continue to compete for transportation projects
- Worsening traffic
- Concerns that the state’s strong economic performance could falter
- Business concerns that the state’s road network is unmanageable.
