2015 House Bill 4940

Authorize toll road and bridge “public/private partnerships”

Introduced in the House

Oct. 6, 2015

Introduced by Rep. Marilyn Lane (D-31)

To authorize the state Department of Transportation to enter “public/private partnerships” for roads, bridges and other facilities, potentially including additional toll-charging lanes on freeways. The state could borrow against future revenues (“sell bonds”) to pay for these projects, which would be owned by the state, with the private vendor collecting user fees.

Referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure
