The Kansas Turnpike Authority (KTA) has entered into an agreement with the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority for the two systems’ electronic toll collection program to be interoperable by the end of 2014.
This agreement will allow drivers who routinely drive on both systems to use either a Kansas K-Tag or Oklahoma Pikepass, rather than both.
“That’s not only good for travellers, it’s good for business,” said Kansas Governor Sam Brownback. “I wanted to see good business ideas when I proposed a formalised partnership between the Kansas Department of Transportation and KTA last year and I applaud Transportation Secretary Mike King for making this a priority.”
Kansas Transportation Secretary and director of KTA Mike King said the agreement will make travel between the two states seamless, smooth and efficient.
“Our customers have been asking for this convenience,” Secretary King said. “I am so proud we’ve been able to work out all the details to make this enhanced customer service a reality in 2014.”
