Central Texas Turnpike System
- Central Texas Turnpike System
The Central Texas Turnpike System (CTTS) is a network of toll roads in the greater Austin, Texas area. The system encompasses State Highway 45, Loop 1, and State Highway 130.
The Texas Department of Transportation partly financed the roadways' construction through the sale of toll revenue bonds. The current roadways are part of the 2002 Central Texas Turnpike Project. Some sections of the system officially opened as early as November 1, 2006, nearly a year ahead of schedule. SH 130 south of U.S. Highway 290 is still under construction.
Tolls on CTTS roadways will be collected by employees in traditional toll booths and by an electronic toll collection system called TxTAG. During the first two months after the November 1st opening, to encourage use of the toll roads, there were no tolls charged for all drivers. In January 2007, tolls were collected for drivers paying cash at toll booths. In February, TxTAG users were charged half the posted toll and beginning in March, began paying the regular tag rate of 10 percent off the posted cash toll.
