Interest group says SA roads need fixing

This 'report' is based solely on data & 'solutions' from TxDOT. It's not an independent look at congestion, and it's biased by TxDOT's toll everything approach.

If we want genuine congestion relief, adding sufficient non-toll capacity is the only way to go.

The report ranked 100 so-called transportation challenges, looking at everything from congested roads to deteriorating bridges.
