Another Senate Bill to block the TTC

Twenty-five of 30 Texas senators have co-authored the bill Tuesday evening that would require a two-year moratorium on public-private development agreements, which could put the Trans-Texas Corridor on hold.

SB1267 calls for setting up a group to study the long-term impacts of the state enlisting private corporations to build and operate toll roads in exchange for collecting profits.

SB1268 was also filed yesterday and would prevent any conversion of an existing free lane to a toll lane, regardless of whether or not local voters approved it.
