IRVING, TX -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 8, 2007 -- AAA Texas has launched a new service that makes
it convenient for Texas motorists who use statewide toll roads.
The TxTag Toll Road Transponder can now be purchased at any of the 22 AAA
Texas district offices in the state. It comes preloaded with $20, but AAA
members pay only $18 (non-members pay $20).
"All Texas drivers have the convenience of purchasing the TxTag immediately
instead of ordering by phone or online and waiting for the transponder to
arrive in the mail days later," said Mark Bell, general manager for AAA
Texas.
What is a TxTag sticker? The TxTag sticker is an electronic device that
can be used statewide to pay toll road charges. It goes on the inside of a
vehicle's windshield and is slightly smaller than the vehicle registration
or inspection sticker. As the driver passes through the toll area, the
toll will automatically be deducted from the device. There is no stopping
at toll booths or searching for change. In addition, most toll roads
throughout the state offer discounted rates when using a tag.
Note: AAA sells new tags, however, the tags must be reloaded directly with
TxTag. Full details are available in the instructional kit that comes with
the tags when purchased. AAA is not responsible for refunds or exchanges.
The purchaser must contact TxTag for any questions about the device for
refunds and exchanges at 1.888.GoTxTag (1.888.468.9824) or
www.txtag.org.
AAA Texas, a member of the American Automobile Association federation of
motor clubs, has been serving Texans since 1902. Today, more than a
million AAA Texas members benefit by the organization's roadside assistance
service, travel agency, financial products, automotive pricing, buying and
financing, trip planning services, and traffic safety programs.
