1/ North Texas — where the pace of construction of tollways over the past two decades has far exceeded other regions in the state — is the epicenter for criminal enforcement of unpaid tolls, a Dallas Morning News investigation found. It also found that the methods the state uses to criminally charge vehicle owners may stand on shaky legal grounds. dallasnews.com/news/investiga…
2/ Additionally, The News found that toll enforcement action across North Texas overwhelmingly impacts people of color, often those who live in low to moderate-income communities.
3/ We analyzed 10 years of data for roughly 160,000 tickets issued across the state for failure to pay tolls and found nearly 40% of defendants were Black drivers like Dee Davis, a single mom from Fort Worth.
