Dallas Considers Converting HOV Lanes To Toll Lanes

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - A proposed toll lane may put a price on one of Dallas county's last toll-free major highways.

The plan would turn an existing HOV lane of U.S. 75 into a toll lane.

Officials are looking at a section running from LBJ freeway to just south of Mcdermott Drive in Allen.

Only single-occupancy cars would be charged, according to a report from the Dallas Morning News.

People who want to weigh in on the proposal may attend a meeting that starts at 6 p.m. Monday night at the Texas A&M Agrilife Center on Coit Road.
