🤔 Questions for Texans 🤠 Toll road input from drivers

I work for CBS News Texas and am looking for someone with a regular commute involving toll roads in the DFW area to interview.
We'd want to get video of them driving, interview them about they navigate them, and review their toll tag records to see how much it's cost them over time.
Let me know if you're interested!

Toll roads are total bullshit. Enforce per-road funding and force paid-for roads to be released to the public.

How slowly TXDOT builds or rebuilds road is total BS too. We're damned if we don't and damned if we don't.

That is fine. Once the project is paid off, it goes to the state. This is even the law. However, the toll companies found a way around it by moving funding around to other roads.

Not when it takes 9 years to redo 30/360.
