Toll roads in the United States

Examples of this are the E-ZPass system used on most toll bridges, toll tunnels, and toll roads in the eastern U.S., as far south as Virginia, as far north as Maine, and as far west as Illinois; California's FasTrak; Florida's SunPass; Kansas's K-Tag; Oklahoma's Pikepass; Texas's TxTag (and within Texas, Houston's EZ Tag and Dallas's TollTag); Louisiana's GeauxPass; and Georgia's Peach Pass and Cruise Card.

In the mid to late nineteenth century, private toll road building was particularly active in the West including California and Nevada.

The owners included stage companies, miners, and ranchers who built the roads, at least in part, to attract business for their primary investments.

Some states are again looking at toll financing for new roads and maintenance, to supplement limited federal funding.

In some areas, new road projects have been completed and later maintained with public-private partnerships funded by tolls, also known as build-operate-transfer systems.
