The Trans-Texas Corridor actually will be publicly-owned. It appears that space within the right-of-way will basically be leased to companies who would spend their own money, possibly with help from taxpayer funds, to put in the roadways, rail lines, and other infrastructure. The companies will be allowed to profit from the tolls and other charges while they run these infrastructure projects.
We need more roads. I just don’t want to get taxed to build roads that I have to then pay to use, with profits going out of the country.
