  • PIKEPASS INTEROPERABLE with NTTA August 10 - Oklahoma PIKEPASS Customers May Use PIKEPASS on NTTA Tollraods
    Media Contact: Jack Damrill - Public Information Officer Oklahoma Turnpike Authority Cell: 405.206.0005 Tel: 405.425.3610 [email protected] www.pikepass.com IMMEDIATE RELEASE PIKEPASS INTEROPERABLE WITH NTTA August 10 - Oklahoma PIKEPASS customers may use PIKEPASS on NTTA tollraods OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (August 4, 2014) — The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority (OTA) has finalized an interoperability agreement with the North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA), which will begin August 10, 2014. “We are excited to announce that PIKEPASS customers will be able to use their transponders in North Texas,” said Tim Stewart, OTA director. “This added accommodation is an example of how we continually listen to our customers and provide innovative ways to make faster, safer and easier.” NTTA operates the Dallas North Tollway, George Bush Turnpike, Sam Rayburn Tollway, LBJ TEXpress, Addison Airport Toll Tunnel and the Chisholm Trail Parkway—all of which will be interoperable with the Oklahoma PIKEPASS. NTTA TollTag customers will have the same convenience on all Oklahoma turnpikes. Both NTTA and OTA passed resolutions to allow interoperability. Although customers should only need one transponder, users who have both TollTag and PIKEPASS should call to determine if one or two accounts work best. It may be better for customers keep both their OTA and NTTA accounts. However, due to double billing, OTA recommends users call PIKEPASS Customer Service at 1-800-PIKEPAS (1-800- 745-3727) or NTTA Customer Service at 1-972- 818-NTTA (1-972-818-6882) to determine the needs of the individual driver. The customer’s PIKEPASS account must be in good standing to qualify for interoperability on NTTA toll roads.

  • PUBLIC HEARING SCHEDULED on SRT IMPROVEMENTS Fourth Lane to Be Added in Each Direction for Entire Tollway Length
    Media Contact: Customer Contact: Michael Rey 972-818-NTTA (6882) 214-224-2237 [email protected] 5900 W. Plano Parkway, Plano, Texas 75093 [email protected] www.NTTA.org PUBLIC HEARING SCHEDULED ON SRT IMPROVEMENTS Fourth lane to be added in each direction for entire tollway length PLANO, TX – July 17, 2017 – The North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA) will conduct a public hearing July 25 regarding proposed improvements to the Sam Rayburn Tollway. NTTA is proposing the addition of one main lane in each direction along the Sam Rayburn Tollway (SRT) from Business 121 (West) to U.S. Highway 75. The project is located within the cities of Allen, Carrollton, Coppell, Fairview, Frisco, Lewisville, McKinney, Plano, and The Colony within Collin, Dallas, and Denton Counties, Texas. The total distance of the proposed project is approximately 26 miles. The public hearing will be held at Taylor Elementary School, 9865 Gillespie Drive, Plano, TX 75025. Displays will be available for viewing at 6:30 p.m. with the formal hearing starting at 7:00 p.m. The purpose of the hearing is to present the planned improvements and to receive public comment on the proposed project. It would widen the SRT facility by adding one main lane in each direction within the existing median and construct operational improvements to enhance traffic flow along the SRT. The purpose of the proposed project is to respond to the forecasted increase in traffic demand and on-going commercial and residential development in the project area. The proposed improvements would be constructed entirely within existing operational right of way (ROW) and would not require additional ROW or easements.
