Just called the toll road people here in OC/RIV CO

[DILLIGAF]

to add another vehicle. Our toll charges are running between $400-$500. monthly or an average of about $100-$125 per vehicle. So I ask if they have any optional usage plans. Nope....
That sucks and they should offer up some kind of dicounted usage plans based on number of trips, etc. I guess they don't have to as there is no competition. Well, I guess you could say there is another option. To sit on the friggin' freeway
FOCKERS!

I am curious, were tax dollars used to construct the that road???

[acatitude]

No, I think it was privately built and then the two counties a few years ago bought it. There is another one that is still owned by the firm who made it, I think.
I use them exclusively myself as I hate friggin' traffic.
They have been around for a number of years
One runs east/west from Anaheim to Corona.
The other runs SOuthwest from the RIV CO line to S OC and also Irvine

I rolled through there the other day and the damn toll was $9.25! Once I got in the Fastrack lanes...of course the traffic came to a standstill. :notam:

Well look at the bright side you have to have jobs for them to go to so while the expenses suck it does bring in income.

[TheLurker]

What sucks more is being charged even though you have not used it.
That’s happened to me a few times been too busy to go out to the river
but if you dont put a minimum amount of use on the transponder they charge a fee.
:devil:

There is nothing worse than paying that toll and seeing the non-toll traffic zip by you at 75MPH.

yeah, they are nuts. The other day I used it and it was $9.25!!!
From what I have heard, they were only supposed to keep it up until they made enough money to pay for the construction of the road, then it would be free. It seems they would have made plenty by now.

No. the 91 was private; CPTC and eventually bought-out by OCTA (now those were public funds). The OC Toll Roads were constructed with non-recourse toll revenue bonds.
