Toll Rates Changing on Mobility Authority Corridors

(Austin, Texas) — The Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority (Mobility Authority) announced that new rates on 183A Toll, 290 Toll, 71 Toll Lane, 45SW Toll, and the 183 Toll will take effect January 1, 2021. The 1.37 percent increase, consistent with the Consumer Price Index, will equate to rates approximately $0.01 – $0.02 greater than the current rates at each toll gantry for customers with electronic tags driving two-axle vehicles. Base rates on MoPac will not increase this year.

Pay By Mail customers, or customers who drive on toll roads without an electronic tag, pay rates that are 50 percent higher than rates paid by tag holders plus a $1 processing fee. The Mobility Authority accepts any of the following tags on its toll roads as payment: Texas Department of Transportation’s TxTag, Harris County Toll Road Authority’s EZ-TAG, North Texas Tollway Authority’s TollTag, Kansas Turnpike Authority’s K-TAG, Oklahoma Turnpike Authority’s PIKEPASS, as well as Bancpass.

There is also an option for customers who wish to pay discounted toll rates without getting an electronic tag: Mobility Authority Prepaid Registered Accounts. This payment method allows customers without an electronic tag to have their tolls paid automatically rather than waiting to receive a toll bill in the mail. Customers can opt in online or over the phone, add $25 to their registered account, and begin driving Mobility Authority-operated toll roads hassle-free. Registered account holders receive a 25 percent savings on Pay By Mail toll rates.

Customers without a tag who choose not to opt in for a Prepaid Registered Account can pay their toll bill in person, over the phone, online, or by mail.

This inflation-based adjustment adds $0.05 to the cost of a full-length trip on 183A Toll for customers with an electronic tag. The increase at individual tolling locations varies.
