If you drive on the Kansas Turnpike, you know that you have to stop at toll booths to collect a ticket and then again to pay your toll. Starting next year, drivers won’t need to stop at all. Instead, their license plates will be scanned and a bill will be sent to them in the mail. The new cashless tolling system will apply to all drivers on the turnpike who don’t have a K-Tag, which automatically tracks a driver’s use on the turnpike. For customers who already have a K-Tag, nothing will change.
K-tag users pay about 30% less than the average motorist. Under the new system, if a vehicle drives through a tollbooth without a K-Tag, the driver will be charged extra for the postage used to send out the bills in the mail. With a K-Tag, users can pay tolls online and won’t be charged postage. Drivers can register for a K-Tag at “myktag.com” there is no cost to sign up for the program.
