Aren’t toll roads a form of double taxation?
No. No tax dollars are used for the operation or maintenance of toll roads. Taxes are mandatory and are paid by both people who use the services they support – and people who do not. Tolls are about the ability to choose, which means drivers have the option to pay to use certain roads. Drivers weigh the typical time and stress-saving value of toll roads against the cost of the tolls, and make a decision based on their individual needs and abilities.
