AustinTollParty.com Updated to Fight Phase II Re-Vote


AustinTollParty.com has been updated to fight the upcoming re-vote for Phase II tolls.

In the spring of 2004, 30 months ago, Phase II (includes Hwys 183, 71, 290 & 360) came to a vote at CAMPO, and even after 93% of the public feedback opposed the plan to toll roads we've already paid for, elected officials voted for it. We've won a lot in 30 months, and we are going for the knockout punch.

“Double Taxation without accountability.”
– Texas Comptroller investigative report on Austin freeway tolls, 5/2005

"It shifts almost every local highway to toll roads!"

– Daryl Slusher, former Austin Councilmember


"I don’t know what kool-aid they’re drinking!"
– Terry Keel, former State Representative


Austin will be the first city in the country to ever shift publicly funded freeways to tollways. Phase II tolls are NOT conventional toll roads. Tell everyone you know - Go to AustinTollParty.com to tell 23 CAMPO board members "NO PHASE II TOLLS" with the click of one button!
