So Perry has a plan to toll all of the Katy Freeway?..... where is it?..... The point being there isn't a plan to toll all the Texas Freeways and you know it...... The TTC is new construction, RMA may be using tolls in some instances but like Beltway 8 you have a free service road.

4,000 mile of the TTC criss crossing Texas isn't shutting down the existing Interstate system.

"So Perry has a plan to toll all of the Katy Freeway?....."

The plan is clearly inferred from the TTC Report. One of the routes closely parallels Interstate 10. You cannot have a toll road compete against a freeway without the toll road losing BIG-TIME - you will never get a trucker to pay 50 cents per mile to go on those roads (they don't even make that much). That is why the report needs to leave open the option of converting freeways to toll roads.

The only other option is to let our existing freeways "wither on the vine" - and maybe that's part of the plan.
