Wow, that's a decent sum for that small little stretch. I know Cedar Park PD used to get paid to run traffic up on 183A, but I don't know if they still do. It was my understanding that the County wasn't getting any money for our section of SH 130 or SH 45. (Of course, that's not to say that the County isn't getting money out of a deal, and just withholding it from the SO putting it into the General Fund instead). Grrrrrr

While this isn't directly related to NTTA, down in Austin DPS is no longer paid to monitor SH 130. Apparently they wanted more money, and declined to renew their previous contract since they didn't get it. As such, the SO, (and in theory the PD for the few small portions that are in the city), are responsible for enforcement. Interesting how he State gets money for enforcement, and when they decide it's not enough, the local agencies have to take over and do it for 'free' without any funding for more troops in those areas.
