    NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release: April 30, 2007 Contact: Steve Pustelnyk 512-996-9778 (office) 512-680-9997 (cell) TxTag Customers Get a Free Ride on 183A in May (Cedar Park, Texas) – The Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority is offering drivers the chance to extend their free ride on the new 183A toll road. When tolls take effect May 1, drivers with a funded TxTag account can continue to drive for free in May and will get 50% off in June. A permanent 10% discount for TxTag customers will take effect July 1. The $238 million 183A project has been a huge success since opening to traffic on March 3, 2007. During the first two months of operation, drivers have been getting the chance to try out the road for free, and the Mobility Authority has been registering more than 90,000 transactions a day, exceeding projections by more than 365%. “We have received a lot of positive feedback from customers who say they are saving as much as 30 minutes on their commute by using 183A,” said Steve Pustelnyk, Director of Communications for the Mobility Authority. “Reports indicate that traffic choked US 183 has been flowing much more smoothly since 183A opened.” A portion of 183A near Lakeline Mall features an all-electronic TxTag toll plaza where cash will not be accepted. In order to use that section of 183A, drivers will need to have a TxTag before tolls take effect on May 1. To make it as easy as possible to get TxTag, the Mobility Authority is sponsoring a number of special sign-up activities along the 183A corridor.

    NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release: October 5, 2007 Contact: Steve Pustelnyk 512-996-9778 (office) 512-680-9997 (cell) Study Shows 183A Toll Road Benefits All Drivers (Austin, Texas) – A study commissioned by the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority has found the 183A toll road is creating significant time savings for all drivers, whether they use 183A or not. The study also found significant reductions in traffic on non-tolled roads, including US 183 and Parmer Lane. In 2004, the average morning rush hour drive time on the non-tolled US 183 from the San Gabriel River to RM 620 near Lakeline Mall was 36 minutes. Today, this same trip takes just 19 minutes, a reduction of nearly 50%. Drivers using the 183A toll road save even more time, cutting the previously 36-minute trip to just 13 minutes, a time savings of more than 60% over 2004. These improvements come despite significant economic growth in the area. For example, the population of Leander has nearly doubled since 2003, rising from 13,846 residents to 26,000. The study also examined how 183A has impacted actual traffic volumes. On US 183, traffic has been reduced by as much as 27% since 183A opened. On Parmer Lane/Ronald Reagan Boulevard, traffic has decreased by as much as 29%. More than 25,000 vehicles each day have switched from those previously traveled roadways to the 183A toll road, improving mobility for everyone in the region. “This data proves that toll roads benefit everyone in the community,” says Mike Heiligenstein Executive Director of the Mobility Authority.

  • Good Morning Mr
    TESTIM ONY Interim Charge 2: TxDOT, MPOs and Tolling Authorities Testimony Before the Senate Transportation and Homeland Security Committee John Barton, P.E. Assistant Executive Director of Engineering Operations Texas Department of Transportation October 13, 2010 Senate Transportation and Homeland Security Committee October 13, 2010 Interim Charge 2: Review and make recommendations relating to the Texas Department of Transportation's organizational structure and working relationship with local governments, Metropolitan Planning Organizations, Regional Tolling Authorities and Regional Mobility Authorities. Introduction Over the years, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has worked diligently to forge a strong working relationship with its transportation partners across the State. This relationship is most necessary as TxDOT and its partners work together to craft a transportation plan that considers the State's needs related to urban mobility, statewide connectivity, and both urban and rural transportation needs. TxDOT relies heavily upon both Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) and tolling authorities across the State for their expertise to achieve this goal. Metropolitan Planning Organizations In 1962, the United States Congress passed legislation that required the creation of MPOs for any urbanized area with a population greater than 50,000. Federal funding for transportation projects and programs are channeled through this planning process. Congress created MPOs in order to ensure that existing and future expenditures of governmental funds for transportation projects and programs are based on a continuing, cooperative, and comprehensive planning process. Statewide and metropolitan transportation planning processes are governed by federal law (23 U.S.C. § 134–135). Additionally, public access to participation in the planning process is required by federal law to achieve transparency.
