Kansas Turnpike Chooses TransCore License Plate Image Review Services
TransCore announced yesterday the Kansas Turnpike Authority (KTA) has selected the firm to provide license plate image review services “to help ensure seamless operations as the KTA roadway system transitions to cashless tolling.” TransCore will provide the operational support and staff to review images and ensure the accuracy of toll transactions. The announcement notes, “TransCore has provided tolling technology and support services to the KTA since 1995, and this latest contract builds on TransCore’s earlier appointment by the KTA to deploy its Infinity cashless roadside tolling technology statewide across KTA’s 236-mile system.”
TransCore president and CEO Whitt Hall commented, “KTA has been a true partner of TransCore for many years, which has enabled us to leverage each organization’s capabilities to develop solutions that address the evolving needs of KTA’s customers. We are humbled by the continued trust that our long-term customers like KTA place in TransCore and in our ability to deliver high-value solutions.” (TRN inserted a link in quoted text).

FasTrak.org, a toll customer information resource and a portal to every California toll system’s website, has been redesigned for easier use and faster navigation, the Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA) announced last week. “The California Toll Operators Committee (CTOC), a collaborative organization comprised of the state’s toll facility operators which includes [TCA], unveiled [the new site] to better serve the six million FasTrak accountholders as well as the millions of toll facilities’ customers throughout the state.” In addition to a fresh look and feel, the website features a responsive map of all toll facilities with contact information for the authorities that operate them. TCA was the first agency in the state to utilize FasTrak, and it continues to hold the system’s trademark and license. It “works with partner agencies to promote the tolling system.”

The New York State Thruway Authority announced last week it received a roughly $1.6 million planning grant for the rehabilitation of the Grand Island Bridges. The bridges, two pairs of one-way spans, carry I-190 north and south across the Niagara River within a 21-mile corridor that links Buffalo with Niagara Falls. The authority stated the grant will allow it “to formulate a comprehensive framework” for the aging bridges’ future. Thruway executive director Frank Hoare noted that the spans “are iconic gateways that serve millions of vehicles per year traveling to and from popular destinations nationally and internationally and [are] part of a vital commercial corridor that links an estimated $23.7 billion in US-Canada freight trade.” The grant was made available through USDOT’s Bridge Investment Program, with funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).
