Collin County is considered the most heavily-tolled county in Texas.
But a new proposal by President Trump could mean even more toll roads in the future — not just in Collin County, but across the state.
The plan calls for more toll roads and public/private partnerships to cover the cost of $1.5 trillion dollars in improvements.
Public pushback to the proposal is growing.
“At the end of the day, this hurts Texas families,” said Terri Hall with Texans For Toll-Free Highways.
Last week, Hall delivered a letter to Washington signed by 60 conservative grassroots groups across Texas.
“If we've already paid for the road we shouldn't have to come back in and pay a toll on a lane that today we drive on for free. So we wanted to make sure that message was communicated to not mess with Texas,” Hall said.
