CTRMA offers scratch-offs to promote cashless Toll 183A

From Community Impact, October 24, 2008...

During November, Toll 183A drivers will receive a scratch-off ticket when they pay cash at the Park Street Main Toll Plaza.

The Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority planned the promotional giveaways, which reveal up to $100 in prepaid TxTag tolls, to make customers aware the road is going cashless Dec. 1.

Instead of slowing down to go through the cash lane at a toll plaza, drivers without a TxTag can remain in the main lanes. Cameras mounted above those lanes will photograph each license plate and the vehicle’s registered owner will receive a bill in the mail. A $1 processing fee is charged per bill, and bills are sent out every 15 days.

Scratch-off tickets will also be available without purchase at community events, the TxTag Customer Service Center, 12719 Burnet Road in Austin, and by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority, 301 Congress Avenue, Ste. 650, Austin, TX 78701.

The CTRMA and Magic 95.5 will be at Lowe’s, 1495 US 183 in Leander, from 11 a.m.- 1 p.m. Nov. 1 and at Circuit City in 1890 Ranch, 1335 E. Whitestone Blvd., from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Nov. 15.
