Yes, most likely is the case. Vendor to gov for IT for roadway tolling systems.

oof... well, enjoy the fact you are no longer participating in that scam

Scam! It's how they fund roads in low-tax Texas.

I do think it's a scam. IMO they borrow money and overbuild roads based on ambitious growth forecasts and maintenance will be costly.

However I recognize I'm a perma bear when it comes to building stuff. All I see is wasted money when I see new roads . All I needed for years to get to work was a bike path, not a 6 lane rolled highway.

yeah, the whole racket with roads and highways and cars has always troubled me

most especially the way they cut these paths through without any thought of pedestrians or human/animal powered transport

mules and horses are definitively more efficient than cars on highways in terms of total energy cost, for short runs

in europe some things have remained reasonable, like, many old town districts retain cobblestone paving, and it is definitely more durable and has an extra benefit of disincentivising fast traffic, because especially in winter it is a lot more slippery

plus in hot summer months it doesn't smell like tar

Bigger Roadways are like shitcoins for "more transactions". Each additional lane beyond 3 only adds marginal capacity for highways and decreases with each additional lane.

Transportation scales in layers. Germany is excellent example with division between S-bahn, u-bahn, tram.

We can't take a single use car or small bus all the way into city core, but that's what newer American cities design for. It needs to have trunk lines that match the capacity of each line.

I think with Bitcoin accounting the road building behemoth gets its head cutoff. No more endless funding.
