Do you use the turnpike in Kansas? Gone are the days of pulling up to the toll booth and paying the person in the booth with cash, starting in July, the Kansas turnpike will start cashless tolling. Turnpike CEO Steve Hewitt calls it the largest change for turnpike customers since it opened in 1956.
Cashless tolling means there will no longer be on-road toll collection and all drivers will keep moving. Drivers will be identified by a transponder such as K-Tag or by license plate registration information. Cashless tolling is used in a large number of other states. If you currently stop and pay cash at the toll booths, you will need to get a K-Tag. A bonus of sorts, the turnpike authority says the per mile toll rate will be the lowest of any cashless system in the entire country.
