TxTag is an electronic toll collection system used primarily in Texas. The system uses a small transponder that is mounted on the windshield of each vehicle. It communicates with toll readers along toll roads. When passing through toll gantries, the amount due from an account associated with this transponder will be automatically deducted.
TxTag accounts are linked to credit cards, debit cards, and bank accounts. Funds are deducted from the account each time a transponder is used for toll payment. TxTag allows motorists to pay tolls quickly and efficiently without having to stop at toll booths.
TxTag is a part of the interoperable US tolling system that works with other systems such as EZ Tag and TollTag, in North Texas.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Electronic Transponder : TxTag uses a small electronic device called a transponder in order to communicate with different toll readers on toll roads. Transponder: The transponder, which is usually mounted in the vehicle's rearview mirror near the windshield, is used by drivers. The transponder then communicates with the readers.
Account Creation: To use TxTag the motorist must first create an account that is linked to his/her preferred payment method. After creating their account, they can manage it online or by using an app provided by the toll authority.
Prepaid Accounts: TxTag accounts are prepaid accounts, which allow users to deposit money into their account to pay for toll charges they incur while driving toll roads. Users have the option to replenish their account manually or automatically when it gets low.
Automatic Payment: When TxTag-equipped vehicles pass under toll gantries, the reader automatically subtracts the toll from their linked account. This eliminates toll booth stops and cash payments and improves traffic flow.
TxTag is compatible with the other tolling systems used in Texas such as EZ Tag, which operates in Houston, and TollTag (which operates in North Texas). TxTag allows drivers to pay for tolls in Texas on roads that are operated by toll authorities other than TxTag.
TxTag is a convenient and efficient way for motorists to pay tolls on Texas toll highways. They no longer need to carry cash or stop at toll stations - making driving easier!
TxTag uses technology and electronic payment to make toll road travel easier for drivers while also helping to manage traffic flow.
