How the Proposed Harris County Toll Rate Hike Failed.

The toll rate hike would cost more to implement than it would bring in.

What costs are considered when implementing a toll hike?

• cost to update internal, roadside and back-office tolling systems
• cost to purchase new permanent roadside signage
• cost to update external digital and print materials
• cost to complete testing of the tolling infrastructure system
• cost to conduct transactional audits to ensure accuracy of the system changes once implemented
