The Fort Bend County Toll Road Authority (FBCTRA), also called the Fort Bend Grand Parkway Toll Road Authority (FBGPTRA), operates three toll roads in Fort Bend County and is headquartered at 1 Fluor Daniel Dr in Sugar Land in the U.S. state of Texas.

History

[edit]

FBCTRA was established in 1996.[1]

The FBCTRA uses Harris County Toll Road Authority's EZ TAG system, which is interoperable with the following:

  1. TxTag issued by the Texas Department of Transportation.
  2. TollTag issued by the North Texas Tollway Authority.
  3. May 2017 - K-Tag issued by the Kansas Turnpike Authority.[2]
  4. May 2019 - PikePass issued by the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority.[3][4]
  5. FBCTRA does not accept cash or offer a pay-by-mail option on its toll roads

In July 2008 the authority converted the Fort Bend Parkway to EZ-Tag only, completely eliminating cash transactions for the agency and resulting in reduced toll collection and maintenance costs.
