Toll roads gaining traction after first three years

WILLIAMSON COUNTY — Conceived during a period of rapid regional growth, the Central Texas Turnpike System was built to accomplish three primary goals: relieve traffic on existing roadways, generate transportation funding and provide a way for drivers to bypass local traffic altogether. Three years after the tolls first opened, transportation officials and local drivers continue to evaluate the system’s effectiveness. The CTTS is overseen by the Texas Department of Transportation. According to TxDOT’s year-end report, the system generated more than $58.9 million in revenue from more than 7 million transactions during the 2009 fiscal year.
