One Million TollTag Accounts and Growing The NTTA reached another milestone in April by adding its one-millionth TollTag account.
“More and more North Texans are discovering they can save money and benefit from the convenience of a TollTag, as well as improve mobility and safety on the roads,” said NTTA Assistant Executive Director of Operations Clayton Howe.
There are many reasons 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. The savings can really add up!
• Having a TollTag eliminates stop-and-go travel and allows for better fuel efficiency.
• TollTags can be used on any toll road in Texas.
• Customers whose accounts are backed with a credit or debit card can use their TollTags for parking and pass-through privileges at D/FW International Airport and for all parking at Dallas Love Field. Frequent flyers can also choose to have monthly statements mailed automatically for just $1.50 per month. TollTag customers also save 50 percent on pass through fees at D/FW (TollTag customers pay $1—everyone else pays $2).
• Customers can have up to three TollTags, a “family pack,” on one account at no additional charge.
• TollTag accounts can be managed online 24/7 at www.ntta.org where customers can print out receipts, update account information and much more.
In March, the NTTA issued its 1.8 millionth active TollTag, and there are more than 491,000 active accounts with more than one TollTag. The NTTA currently collects more than 80 percent of tolls 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 will be paid with TollTag accounts or through the NTTA’s ZipCash program at the higher rate.
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 RegionalTollTag Partner or with the NTTA TagWagon at community events.
