 Moving Forward in 2008
2007 was a very exciting year for the North Texas Tollway Authority.
In 2007, over 197,000 new TollTag accounts were opened and NTTA representatives made over 1.8 million customer contacts. The NTTA added almost 10 miles of roadway to its system when the Dallas North Tollway (Tollway) extension from SH 121 to U.S. 380 opened to traffic in September. Ground was also broken on the Lewisville Lake Toll Bridge.

NTTA Marks ZipCash’s One Year Anniversary
January 31, 2008, marks the one year anniversary of the implementation of ZipCash, the NTTA’s cashless method of electronic toll collection at the Wycliff Avenue main toll plaza. Initially, ZipCash was implemented in January of 2007 as a temporary solution to the congestion caused by construction at the plaza.
In addition to successfully eliminating the construction-related congestion at the Wycliff Avenue toll plaza, the ‘drive now, pay later’ ZipCash method is safer than cars stopping to pay tolls and then weaving back into traffic, and had many other benefits for north Texas motorists.
