The North Texas Tollway Authority has been connecting North Texans for 25 years, serving one of the fastest growing metro areas in the US. We serve more than 14 million drivers through safe, well-maintained roads, which has brought significant and continued economic growth and development. We were the first tolling agency in the US to use electronic tolling technology with the TollTag. We were also among the first to convert an entire network of roads to cashless tolling (2010). NTTA is dedicated to continuing its legacy as a leader in tolling.
