Harris County Toll Road Authority

Harris County Toll Road Authority

An information site for Harris County residents

This site is not affiliated with HCTRA. Go to hctra.org to service an existing EZ Tag account.

Consider the TxTag instead of EZ Tag. The TX TAG Works on all toll roads in Texas, and the tag is free.
Click here for the TxTag. A state regulated toll tag.


Advice: Always consider all options when planning a trip within Harris County - several dollars in tolls may only save you a few minutes on the road. Always use a GPS app like Waze that presents several options as well as tolling information. Consider as well that using toll roads may perpetuate the development of even more toll roads.
This site will contain information concerning the Harris County Toll Road Authority. We provide these documents in the interest of full disclosure.
