Free roads are an illusion. Somebody has to pay for them. If it's those who actually use them, that's probably more fair than most government programs. You'll pay for them one way or another. The difference is that trucking firm from Chicago or Portland will be helping to pay for the roads they use to make their profits.
Answer: Adjust the gas tax. It is a user fee for which people who drive more, pay more. It is also a fee people across the state will pay, not just in the cities like Austin and Houston. A gas tax increase -if needed, is equitable and fair and will be paid by all who transit the State as well as the locals.
