Regional Toll Revenue (RTR)
Description:
The funding was created through an agreement with the North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA). In exchange for the opportunity to construct, operate, and maintain the 26-mile SH 121 toll road for 52 years, NTTA paid the region $3.2 billion. The region added $200 million to the RTR fund in July 2010 when NTTA agreed to build and maintain SH 161 in western Dallas County, an extension of the President George Bush Turnpike (PGBT). RTR funds continue to be created from other priced facilities, such as managed lanes. RTR funds may include up-front payments by tolling entities, excess revenue payments by tolling entities, or interest accrued on these funds.
