Drivers who are passing through the toll plaza of a Texas Roadway can now pay their toll fare without hassle automatically. Apart from that, the person, who has failed to make the payment immediately while passing the toll, too, can make the online payment. All these payments can be made through the TxTag portal.
About Texas Department of Transportation
Much of the Texas Roadways is maintained by the authorities of the Texas Department of Transportation. Colloquially known as TxDOT, it is a state government agency that is in charge of construction and maintenance of the transportation system of the roadways across the state. Apart from overseeing the maintenance, construction, and administrative aspects, TxDOT is responsible for the meticulous collection of the Toll Tax from the entire driver passing through the road network. These toll taxes are in turn used for the development of safe and secured roadway systems all over the state.
TxTag Program
Texas Department of Transportation has introduced the TxTag Program, a secured way of collecting toll tax directly from the customer account without the requirement of stopping on the toll plaza. It has transformed the collection of tolls more transparent and fully digitized.
TxTag transponder/sticker is mounted on the windshield of the car. The sensors that can read the transmission from the transponder are mounted on the toll plaza. If the driver with the TxTag account passes through the roadways, the toll amount is automatically deducted from your account after the responder sends a signal to the sensors’ overhead. This will ensure an easy deduction of the toll amount directly from the user’s TxTag account. Moreover, it also makes sure you are paying the lowest toll rates.
TxTag Account-Registration and Requirements
The best part about TxTag is that it not only works only in Texas but also in the toll roadways of Oklahoma and Kansas. On mounting the transponder, it is very easy to set up a TxTag account with the AutoPay facility. On linking your credit card or debit card and setting up the Auto Pay facility, not a single amount will be charged for the TxTag sticker.
