I will support toll roads the day if they have tax free gas stations on them and can prove that they get no money from the government for maintenance

That's sort of how the trucking industry works. Trucking firms are taxed by state, based on the miles they've driven in that state. This makes sense, because your typical 18-wheeler has enough fuel capacity to drive through multiple states without fueling up.

When a trucking company reports its mileage to each state where it operates, it gets a tax credit for the tolls it pays in any state with a toll road.
