Toll roads in Texas

Texas has multiple toll operators across the state, each responsible for managing and maintaining their own toll roads.

These operators span from state agencies (Texas Department of Transportation), tolling authorities (Harris County Toll Road Authority and North Texas Tollway Authority), regional mobility authorities (Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority and North East Regional Mobility Authority), and public-private partnerships (3Ps) with TxDOT (LBJ Infrastructure Group, NTE Mobility Partners, and NTE Mobility Partners Segments 3). Although each entity operates under its own business rules, billing practices, and toll rates, all share a common goal: improving mobility across the state for the millions driving on Texas roads daily.

Some operators issue their own toll tags, all of which are interoperable on toll roads in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado and most of Florida. As long as a tag is active and funded, drivers can use toll roads, receive discounted tolls rates, and avoid additional fees and fines.

TxDOT currently oversees approximately 263 centerline miles of toll roads, including managed lanes, in the Austin (Central Texas Turnpike System), Houston (SH 99 Grand Parkway System, SH 249 Project, and SH 288 Managed Lanes Project), and Dallas-Fort Worth regions.
