9. it's worse

The consortium sets the tolls, collects 100% of the tolls for those decades, changed the definition of an exempt carpool from at least two people to at least three people, and more. The toll lanes are already mostly empty because of the cost, which will no doubt continue to climb.

In exchange, the consortium is supposed to maintain the roads. Its all still relatively new (at least on Boulder turnpike); I expect when it starts to degrade they won't want to fix it, and will demand more money from the state.
