Get involved
Here are several ways you can help make the Toll Road Authority accountable to citizens:
- Stay informed. Keep tabs on Harris County's toll road plans by
reviewing agendas for
biweekly Commissioners' Court meetings. The Court meets every other Tuesday
at 10:00 am. All meetings are open to the public with an opportunity for public comments.
- Invite CTC to present to your group. Please email ctc-advocacy@ctchouston.org to request a speaker.
- Volunteer. Please email ctc-advocacy@ctchouston.org.
- Write your state legislators. Tell your state representative and
your state senator that you support changes in state law to make county toll
road authorities more accountable to citizens. Click here

We are asking local elected representatives throughout the region for their help too.
