Drivers who use Toll 183A and Manor Expressway, or the tolled portion of Hwy. 290, will ring in the New Year with some new prices.
Increased rates for most of the toll facilities operated by the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2017, according to an agency news release. The rates will increase by 1.5 percent and equate to about $0.01 to $0.02 greater than the current rates.
The rate increase does not apply to the MoPac Express Lanes, according to the Mobility Authority.
For customers with a TxTag, the adjustment will add five cents to the cost of a full-length trip along Toll 183A, and four cents to the cost of a full-length trip along Manor Expressway. The increase at individual toll locations will vary.
Rates for customers paying by mail will also increase by 1.5 percent, so for those drivers the adjustment will add seven cents to the cost of a full-length trip along Toll 183A, and eight cents to the cost of a trip along Manor Expressway.
