Drivers can use an NTTA TollTag on participating toll roads beyond Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. Here’s where it works.
Tom Fox/Dallas Morning News
After a September addition to the North Texas Tollway Authority’s network, North Texas TollTag users can now go even further across state lines.
But just how far can they go? And how many states?
The NTTA provides customers with access to toll roads in 11 states outside of Texas: Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Oklahoma.

When a TollTag user drives on a participating toll road, the amount is automatically charged to their NTTA account and included in their monthly invoice, along with the corresponding road’s name next to the amount, according to Michael Rey, media relations manager for the toll authority.
“Interoperability will allow [North Texans] to travel outside their home region and receive the lowest rate available with the convenience of billing through one transponder,” Rey said. “This is beneficial to all toll customers because it expands payment methods to a larger group of transponders, thereby removing them from receiving video toll invoices.”

NTTA suggests motorists not have both an out-of-state and TollTag transponder, or sticker, on their vehicles because it may result in double charges.
