Increase In Toll Rates Coming July 1

June 4, 2025 – Drivers in North Texas will soon see a modest increase in toll rates starting July 1, as part of the North Texas Tollway Authority’s (NTTA) routine adjustment schedule. The cost per mile for drivers using a TollTag will rise from 21 cents to 22 cents—a slight but noticeable change for regular commuters. Those without a TollTag and instead relying on the ZipCash system will continue to pay roughly double the TollTag rate.

The NTTA adjusts toll rates every two years in accordance with a policy aimed at meeting the region’s long-term transportation and infrastructure needs. Officials say the increase is necessary to help maintain and expand toll roads, improve traffic flow, and ensure the safety and efficiency of the existing network.

Additionally, part of the revenue from this increase will go toward servicing approximately $8.8 billion in toll-related debt. These bonds have funded numerous construction and maintenance projects across the North Texas region.

While the adjustment may not significantly impact occasional drivers, it could add up for daily commuters. NTTA officials continue to encourage drivers to sign up for a TollTag to receive the lowest possible rates and streamline toll payments. As the region’s population and road use grow, toll adjustments are expected to remain a regular part of long-term planning.
