Traffic projections for Trinity Toll Road can be kept secret, says AG
We've been trying to get this data made public ever since Rick Perry made it secret in 2007. We MUST have openess and transparanecy with this data - the pulci has a right to know if a toll road will be financially solvent BEFORE decisions are made, bond debt issued, or other public money committed.

The North Texas Tollway Authority has spent 15 years and more than $1.7 million estimating the traffic impact and revenue potential of the proposed Trinity Parkway.
The agency collected the habits of Dallas drivers, the effect of various access points and how the toll road would affect nearby land usage.
That information could bolster or undercut arguments surrounding the project. It could also give a deeper understanding of the project’s potential risks and payoffs.
But the NTTA doesn’t have to share any of the information with the public.
