Reasons companies move to Texas are many, but 1st or 2nd are adequate roads.  We are NOT maintaining roads as we should.  We pay more to drive on poorly maintained roads – $516 per year in the U. S., $815 in San Antonio, $772 in Houston & on and on.  Tourism has a major impact for us, which is another reason we need good roads with 54% from out-of-state.   Transportation investment is a great way to stimulate economic development.  More jobs are created.  Poor roads costs us money in “beating” up our cars, lives lost, extra fuel, etc.
