NTTA Converting to Electronic Toll Collection System-wide
 If you frequently drive on the Dallas North Tollway, you may notice a difference between the Wycliff Avenue gantry and the rest of the gantries on the North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA) system.

ZipCash customers (customers on NTTA roadway without a TollTag) benefit from the added convenience of ‘driving now and paying later.’ ... |
