Before I knew about toll tags, I'd see people zooming through the toll gates without stopping. I thought they were running the gates. Glad I learned of the toll tags before any ideas to follow them ever surfaced!
North Texas Tollway Authority News Release:
NTTA Milestone: 1.8 million TollTags and Growing
The NTTA has reached yet another milestone by issuing its 1.8 millionth active TollTag.
"This milestone means that hundreds of thousands of additional North Texans are saving money as well as improving efficiency, mobility and safety on the roads," said NTTA Assistant Executive Director of Operations Clayton Howe.
There are many reasons why motorists should get a TollTag. Customers who use ZipCash—the NTTA's cashless toll collection method—pay 50 percent more than customers who have TollTags. Having a TollTag also eliminates stop-and-go travel and allows for better fuel efficiency. TollTags also can be used on any tollroad in Texas. Customers whose accounts are backed with a credit or debit card can also use their TollTags for parking and pass-through privileges at D/FW International Airport and for all parking at Dallas Love Field. Customers can have up to three TollTags, a “family pack,” on one account at no additional charge. TollTag accounts also can be managed online 24/7 at www.ntta.org where customers can print out receipts for expense reports, update account information and much more.
The NTTA currently collects more than 80 percent of its toll revenue electronically and is preparing to convert the remainder of the NTTA System to all-electronic toll collection (all-ETC) by 2011. Once converted, NTTA facilities will no longer accept cash in the toll lanes. After the conversion, tolls must be paid with a TollTag account or through the NTTA’s ZipCash program.
Motorists can visit www.ntta.org or call 972-818-6882 (NTTA) to open a new account or add a TollTag to an existing account. They also can sign up at their nearest Regional TollTag Partner or with the NTTA TagWagon at community events.
Also, don't forget the Teens in the Driver Seat expo with NTTA Saturday at Firewheel Town Center! NTTA has more information here.
