According to the Harris County Toll Road Authority's website, the tolls are adjusted each year based on inflation, as indicated by Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase for the region, or a minimum of two percent, whichever is greater.
The rates apply to standard 2-axle vehicles on main lane plazas and at current $1.15 ramp locations. Drivers using cash will not be impacted. At this rate, EZ TAG users continue to pay less than cash customers at most tolling locations.
