House Resolution No. by Representative Braud urges the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to conduct a comprehensive study on the Geaux Pass toll system. The resolution highlights the need for improved access to Geaux Pass toll passes, particularly by establishing a local office in Belle Chasse, which currently lacks proximity to the existing customer service center in Golden Meadow. The study will also address customer service enhancements, the reasons for delays in the Geaux Pass implementation for the Belle Chasse bridge project, and recommendations for future projects.
Additionally, the resolution calls for an examination of the integration of Geaux Pass with other tolling systems, including those in neighboring states, and the potential for Geaux Pass to manage all toll facilities in Louisiana for greater uniformity. The Department of Transportation and Development is tasked with providing a detailed report on these findings, including revenue generated by the Geaux Pass system and common issues faced by drivers using open road tolling, to be submitted to the House Transportation, Highways and Public Works committee by January 15, 2026.
