Scheduled increase in 2011 was deferred to this year

Houston — The Houston Chronicle is reporting; Starting in September, that jaunt on a Harris County toll road might save you time, but it won't spare your change.

Unless Commissioners Court intervenes, rates at main-lane toll plazas on the Sam Houston, Westpark Tollway, Hardy Toll Road and the one toll booth on the Fort Bend Parkway inside Harris County are scheduled to increase Sept. 8 from $1.30 to $1.40 for EZ Tag users and from $1.50 to $1.75 for cash customers.
