NTTA Launches Partnership with ACE Cash Express on May 12

PLANO, Texas, May 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA) is launching its partnership with ACE Cash Express on Wednesday, May 12, 2010, to provide additional locations for motorists to pay their ZipCash invoices and to open and load cash-backed TollTag accounts as the Authority moves forward transitioning the remainder of its system to all-electronic toll collection (all-ETC).

Media is invited to attend the launch event Wednesday from 10 a.m. to noon at the ACE Cash Express store located at 2540 N. Josey Lane in Carrollton.  The NTTA TagWagon staff will be on-hand providing information and giveaways to the public.  Executive staff from both the NTTA and ACE Cash Express as well as a promotional team from ESPN will also be in attendance.

Customers will be able to visit 153 ACE Cash Express locations in the Dallas//Fort Worth Metroplex.  For a $3 fee, customers can sign up for cash-backed TollTag accounts.  Prior to the partnership with ACE, this could only be done by going online or visiting the NTTA's Customer Service Center.  For a $2 fee, customers can Pay ZipCash statements and add money to an existing account.  Customers who receive ZipCash invoices or ZipCash late invoices can visit any ACE location to pay their bill efficiently and quickly.

ZipCash customers pay a 50 percent higher toll rate due to the cost of collection. By getting a TollTag, they can save money on their tolls and enjoy the convenience of not worrying about invoices. They can also get up to three TollTags per account (with no additional deposit). TollTag customers also can use their TollTag to travel on any toll road in Texas. Customers whose accounts are backed with a credit or debit card can use their TollTags for parking and pass-through privileges at D/FW International Airport and all parking at Dallas Love Field.
