If the Trans-Texas Corridor is established, it will be used as the model for the rest of the Intercontinental roadway system. It will also change the taxing mechanism used on roadways. Pay by the mile. The people planning this have stated the tax to drive will be about equal to the price of gasoline. For every mile you drive, calculate the cost of the gas you've used X2. And this taxing method will be used nationwide, on all roads, paved and dirt. This is in everyone's backyard. And the taxes collected will be used to build roads owned by private individuals. That is not progress. It is feudalism, which is REgression.
