The prohibition of tolls on portions of State Highway 146 and State Highway 99

TX HB904 aims to make it illegal to charge tolls on certain sections of State Highway 146 and State Highway 99 in Texas. This means drivers would be able to use these highways without having to pay toll fees. The bill is currently in the introductory phase in the legislative process.

Supporters of TX HB904 argue that removing tolls will make travel more affordable for Texas residents and improve access to essential services and businesses along these highways. They believe this bill promotes fairness by ensuring that taxpayers are not charged twice for using roads they have already funded through taxes.

Critics of TX HB904 may argue that eliminating tolls could reduce funding for highway maintenance and improvements, potentially leading to worse road conditions. They might also contend that tolls are a necessary way to manage traffic and fund infrastructure projects that benefit the community.
