The state is robbing the residents.

I'm no math wiz, but $1.74 x 1,600 = $2,784. Where do they get $26,000??

That’s about $48 per day for every single day of a five-year, three month period. That’s about 27 trips per day. Does she most of her waking hours driving up and down that one stretch of road?

Hm. JAN2012 - MAR2017 is about 1900 days, give or take when in those months this started/ended. Take $26M and divide by 1600 tolls, gives us $16.25 per toll.

If she's at the non-tag rate, and probably getting billed for the whole stretch, that's an easy number to hit. Dallas area is maybe half that per full-length. And if she's driving to one place, then home the same day, that's only 800 days of tolls over those five years (1900 days).
