Central Texas Turnpike System (CTTS)
TxDOT’s four Austin-area toll roads, officially the Central Texas Turnpike System (CTTS), include Loop 1, State Highway (SH) 45 North, SH 45 Southeast, and SH 130 (Segment 1-4). The roads provide welcome relief from traffic congestion and gridlock for thousands of motorists each day. All tolls are collected electronically, eliminating the need to stop at toll booths.
Toll Roads
Loop 1
The tolled segments of Loop 1, also known as MoPac, extend four miles from Parmer Lane to SH 45N. South of Parmer Lane, drivers have the option to take the MoPac Express Lanes through Central Austin.
The MoPac Express Lanes are operated by Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority (CTRMA).
SH 130 (Segments 1-4)
SH 130 (Segments 1-4), on the east side of Austin, provides a bypass around I-35 traffic congestion, connections to commuter routes into Austin, and a fast route to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA) for many. Segments 1-4 extend 49 miles from north I-35 in Georgetown to 183 southeast of Austin.
The southern section of SH 130 (Segments 5-6) between Austin and Seguin is operated by the SH 130 Concession Company.
SH 45 North (SH 45N)
SH 45N links communities in North Austin between 183 and SH 130. The 13-mile-long toll road is also key connection for commuters to Loop 1 and I-35.
SH 45 Southeast (SH 45SE)
SH 45SE is seven miles long and completes the Central Austin bypass by connecting SH 130 in southeast Austin to I-35 near Buda.
Toll rates
Tolls are based on how far a driver travels and the type of vehicle being driven. Drivers pay a toll each time they pass through a toll plaza. Depending on where they enter of exit the roadway, drivers may also pay a toll on certain entrance and exit ramps.
Drivers without a toll tag pay 50 percent more on Austin-area toll roads.
