I drive on Texas toll roads quite often. I don't follow how they take the tax revenue away. While there definitely has been failed projects but I am curious if this method of infrarstructure takes money out of the tax coffers? A private business foots a massive infrarstructure bill with its own risks with and turns over the road after N number of years. Has anyone run the math to see if these projects are net winners/losers for the state?

See table A-2, about a 20% margin for NTTA despite COVID impacting how much people were driving.
