HIGHWAYS: Urges and requests the Department of Transportation and Development to study modifying toll operations within the state
This resolution asks Louisiana's Department of Transportation and Development to study how to improve toll operations at the state's three major bridges. The study will specifically look at creating consistent toll signs, establishing a clear process for handling customer complaints, and setting up local service centers to help drivers and businesses. While the bill does not change current toll rates or laws, it directs the department to report back by February 2027 with recommendations on making these services more uniform and accessible.
