Starting July 1, the North Texas Tollway Authority will raise toll rates an average of 1 cent per mile.
The rate increase will go from 21 cents to 22 cents per mile, while the pay-by-mail rate will be double the TollTag rate.
The breakdown
This toll rate increase will help NTTA repay approximately $8.8 billion in toll bonds used to construct toll roads. The rate increase also helps fund future improvements included in the NTTA five-year capital plan, including the current extension of the Dallas North Tollway and Chisholm Trail Parkway. Only drivers who choose to use NTTA roads pay tolls, according to a news release.
