K-TAG Retail Center opens in Lawrence

LAWRENCE, Kan.— As a way to improve customer service and efficiency, the Turnpike Authority opened a second K-TAG Retail Center, this one at their Lawrence toll plaza, exit 202. Grand opening festivities took place Thursday, January 28, 2016 at 4:30 p.m. The first K-TAG Retail Center location was opened last April in east Wichita.

At the K-TAG Retail Center customers will be able to get new or replacement K-TAGs, learn how a K-TAG can save them on time and tolls when traveling on the Turnpike and make changes or a payment to their account.

“Opening this K-TAG Retail Center aligns with our company values of making improvements and providing great customer service,” said Steve Hewitt, KTA’s CEO. “A retail center in Lawrence is another way we can do that for our customers in the busy northeast part of Kansas.”

The K-TAG Retail Center is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. K-TAGs can also be order online at www.myktag.com and by calling 1-800-USE-KTAG (1-800-873-5824).
