A Deep Look at the Boom in DFW Toll Roads and NTTA TollTag Revenue
Fort Worth Star-Telegram takes a deep dive on the growth of metro area toll roads and toll spending. “Today,” it reports, “there are about 4.6 million cars with TollTags affixed to their windshields. . . . The North Texas Tollway Authority, which owns the TollTag brand and electronically processes toll payments even on roads the agency doesn’t own, expects to collect about $720 million in revenue from TollTags during the 2018 fiscal year.”
