Toll bills are mailed to the registered owner of a vehicle that traveled on Toll 49 but do not have a valid TollTag (North Texas Tollway Authority), TxTag (Texas Department of Transportation), EZ TAG (Harris County Toll Road Authority), PIKEPASS (Oklahoma Turnpike Authority), or K-Tag (Kansas Turnpike Authority). If you received a toll bill, a vehicle registered in your name recently traveled on Toll 49, which is operated by the North East Texas Regional Mobility Authority (NET RMA). Be advised that if you loan your vehicle to someone else, Texas law states that the registered vehicle owner is responsible for paying any tolls incurred by that vehicle. Failure to pay a toll bill can result in late fees and other toll enforcement actions including, blocking your vehicle registration.
If you don’t have an NTTA TollTag or similar method to pay for tolls, NTTA will send you a “ZipCash,” bill, which is the agency’s version of the Pay-by-Mail option. Cameras on the toll road take a picture of a vehicle’s license plates and that information is sent to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles to identify the registered owner of the vehicle. A ZipCash (or Pay-by-Mail) bill is then sent to the registered owner’s address.
ZipCash (or Pay-By-Mail) is just one of two ways to pay for toll road use. Drivers can avoid higher toll rates and potential late fees by getting an NTTA TollTag.
ZipCash (or Pay-by- Mail) customers have 30 days to pay their bill. Customers may do so in person, online or by calling 972-818-NTTA (6882).
Repeated failure to pay ZipCash (or Pay-by- Mail) bills will result in late fees and other toll enforcement actions.
The NTTA TollTag comes with the best value, including:
- Lowest toll rates – ZipCash customers pay up to 50 percent more than TollTag customers
- Convenience of electronic payment and getting the lowest rates on any toll road in Texas, Oklahoma or Kansas
- Convenient payment for parking at DFW International and Dallas Love Field airports
- Easy online account access – Check your balance, add/remove vehicles from your account, print receipts and update your information
- TollPerks – Earn rewards for driving on NTTA-owned roads in Dallas/Fort Worth
- No bills, no hassles – Avoid monthly ZipCash invoices and potential late fees
- Open your account online or visit one of any TollTag retail locations in the Dallas/Fort Worth area to get your TollTag today.

The North East Texas Regional Mobility Authority (NET RMA) is an independent government agency created to accelerate the development of transportation projects in Northeast Texas. Our mission is to implement transportation solutions that will enhance the quality of life and the economic environment in our area. A 21-member board of directors that represent each of the member counties governs the NET RMA: Bowie, Camp, Cass, Cherokee, Gregg, Harrison, Kaufman, Panola, Rusk, Smith, Titus, Upshur, Van Zandt, and Wood. The NET RMA was established in October 2004.
NTTA issued a Notice of Non-Payment because Texas Department of Motor Vehicles records indicate a vehicle that you are the registered owner of, used Toll 49, and you did not pay the bill by the due date. Visit the link to view the toll bill and fee schedule: https://www.netrma.org/net-rma-policies/toll-rates/.
The NET RMA operates cashless toll facilities. All-electronic toll collection reduces operational costs, improves safety, reduces vehicle emissions, and promotes a consistent flow of traffic because drivers do not have to slow down or stop to pay their tolls. Customers on Toll 49 can easily and conveniently pay their tolls using an NTTA TollTag or other electronic tag option.
There are several ways to pay your toll bill or notice of non-payment. Payments can be made:
- Online or by calling 972-818-NTTA (6882)
- Or at a Customer Service Center in the Dallas/Fort Worth area
Yes. You received a toll bill because Texas Department of Motor Vehicle records indicate a vehicle you are the registered owner of was photographed using Toll 49, or a valid electronic tag (for example, the NTTA TollTag) associated with an account in good standing was not detected. As the registered owner of this vehicle, you are legally responsible for the toll charges regardless of who was driving the vehicle.
Please call NTTA at 972-818-NTTA (6882).
Under Texas law you may be able to dispute these charges if you meet one of the following criteria:
- You were no longer the legal owner of the vehicle at the time it was on the toll road and have official written, verifiable documents proving that, or
- The vehicle was leased or rented to another entity at the time it was on the toll road and have official written, verifiable documents proving that, or
- The vehicle was stolen prior to its use of the toll road and you have official written, verifiable proof of this, including an official police report
To qualify for one of these exemptions, you must submit written proof that the vehicle was not legally under your ownership or control at the time the vehicle was on Toll 49. You will need one of the following documents:
- A copy of the Texas Department of Motor Vehicle Transfer Notification Form confirming sale or transfer of your vehicle to another owner: https://www.txdmv.gov/motorists/buying-or-selling-a-vehicle;
- A copy of the rental or lease agreement, which includes the name and address of the party responsible for the car at the time the toll charges were incurred;
- A copy of the police report showing your vehicle was reported stolen prior to the time the toll charges were incurred.
Please call 972-818-NTTA (6882) for more information.
If you believe your bill was issued in error and you don’t have an electronic tag (NTTA TollTag, etc), contact NTTA by calling 972-818-NTTA (6882) to request a review of your account. If you have an NTTA TollTag account, log into your account to learn how to dispute a toll charge.
If the address shown on your toll bill or notice is not current, or if you recently moved, you must update your address through the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles: https://renew.txdmv.gov/Renew/AddressChangeServlet
Drivers who travel on Toll 49, operated by NET RMA, but do not have a TxTag, NTTA TollTag, EZ Tag, PIKEPASS or K-Tag, will receive a ZipCash invoice from NTTA to pay the tolls.
Cameras on the toll road will take a picture of your license plate, and that information is sent to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), who identifies the registered owner of the vehicle. NTTA sends you a ZipCash bill using the information from the DMV.
ZipCash customers have 30 days to pay their bill either in person, via check, online or over the phone.
Failure to pay a toll bill can result in late fees and other toll enforcement actions, including, blocking vehicle registration. If you let other people drive your car, be advised that under Texas law you are responsible for any tolls incurred.
Customers in rental cars are required to pay for travel on Toll 49, operated by NET RMA, and should contact their rental agency regarding payment. Most rental car companies now offer rental car customers the opportunity to use toll roads, but the programs can vary by agency and involve fees beyond the cost of the toll charged by NET RMA.

Building any road – whether toll or “free” – requires taking steps to protect the environment. As a local agency, the NET RMA recognizes the importance of protecting the natural resources that are unique to northeast Texas. The NET RMA will work closely with environmental groups, neighborhood residents, and all interested stakeholders to ensure projects are developed in a manner that is consistent with community needs and desires. This type of environmental study takes time.
The time line for each segment will be different depending on the potential impacts to the environment. Dividing the corridor into segments can reduce the time of these studies. A single segment environmental study could take as long as 10 years or as little as 3 years.
Future funding sources for the environmental process, ROW procurement, and construction have not been identified.
The NET RMA will allow qualifying military veterans an exemption from the payment of tolls on Toll 49. Section 372.053 of the Texas Transportation Code allows toll agencies the opportunity to reduce or eliminate the payment of tolls for vehicles displaying certain disabled veteran license plates. The NET RMA will provide complete exemption of the toll for these license plates.
A complete description of the NET RMA’s disabled veteran’s discount program is located in Section 3.8.1 of the Toll Policies and Road Use, a copy of which can be found at: https://netrmaorgdev.wpengine.com/assets/netrma-tolling-road-policies-20160510.pdf
It will allow for faster completion.
The revenue generated from the toll will stay in our local area.
It will allow for more of our local tax dollars to go to other projects.
