July 15, 2011 - Recently released revenue data provided by the DOTD shows that Jefferson Parish citizens pay the majority of the toll revenue on the CCC bridge. The data provided by the DOTD, which showed toll tag revenue broken down by toll tag account holder zip code from 2008 through the first 6 months of 2011, was then mapped by StopTheTolls.Org into city and parish using zip code. (see results below)

The resulting totals show that almost 1/2 (46%) of the toll revenue comes from Jefferson Parish citizens.
