Information, Interoperability And Account Options
NOTICE: Links for account creation and account management will take you to the official agency website, in a new tab/window.
TxTag is no longer issued. New transponders will be handled by the Harris County Toll Road Authority. New tags will be HCTRA's EZ Tag.
TxTag may still be used on all toll roads in Texas. It is also interoperable in Oklahoma and Kansas.
TollTag is issued by the North Texas Tollway Authority, and it was originally designed for use by local drivers and commuters using the toll roads of the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
TollTag, which is spelled as a single word, should not be confused with Louisiana's Toll Tag, which is issued by the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway.
The NTTA TollTag is interoperable with all of Texas' toll roads, as well as systems across Oklahoma, Kansas and, more recently, Florida and Colorado.

For business accounts, you will be required to provide a Vehicle Reference Code (VRC) for each vehicle assigned to your account.
A Vehicle Reference Code (VRC) is a universal identifier used between tolling agencies, to identify the weight and size classes of a specific vechile, along with the number of axles and tires. Business applications include a reference chart of applicable codes. A VRC is not required for personal accounts.
Business operators: It is important to use the largest common configuration of your vehicle when choosing a VRC. For instance, if you operate a five-axle tractor-trailer, but you sometimes only drive the cab, make certain to list the VRC for a five-axle vehicle, not a three-axle vehicle.
