Bill Hammond writes that underfunding transportation imposes a litany of costs on Texans. These costs are:

Wear and tear from driving on deficient roads: $25.1Billion/year.  This amounts to $1,740 per year per person in Dallas; $1,850 for Houstonians; $1,780 in San Antonio; and $1,655 in Austin. [McAllen Monitor]
