Pass-through Tolling Projects
Pass-through toll financing works by reimbursing a portion of upfront costs needed for the construction or expansion of a state highway project. Put another way, a public or private entity developing the project will finance, construct, maintain and/or operate a project, and TxDOT will then reimburse a portion of the project cost by making periodic payments for each vehicle that "passes through" the highway.
