crossing the border at Columbia re: toll road Hwy 20

does anyone know if the toll road at Columbia crossing still takes cash for crossing the toll road in TX???
or do you have to have the sticker and if so....where do you purchase this sticker and cost???
thanks bill & fran

No more cash. The road, like other Texs toll rods, uses the Txpass system.

TxPass is a transponder device developed by the state of Texas that is mounted on the inside windscreen of a vehicle.

Rolly is right and I have a Texas Pass, but I'll bet that the overhead cameras will take a picture of your licence plate (tag) and they'll send you a bill in the mail. If they don't - you win ! ! !

If you do not have the toll sticker if in US they will take a pic and send a bill.

would it be your guess that they send me a bill to my Canadian address?
thanks fran & bill

I would think so.... but like I said above - "but if they don't, you win."

A Canadian friend of mine told some Florida relatives that they should use Hwy 407 (toll rd.) in the Toronto area since Ontario wouldn't send them a bill to their Florida address. He was wrong. A couple of months later they got a bill for $30.00 - already changed into U.S. Dollars.

The Colombia Toll Rd. is only $2 so no big deal either way.

I'd recommend getting a Tx. Tag for the next time you come down. You can use it for the new Austin Tx. by-pass. A real time saver for the $6.00!

thanks for that tip...as we would rather cross at Columbia. when we
arrived this year early Nov...the sticker did not apply.
****important**** you mentioned getting this????
where is it available...thinking it would be a good idea...is it available
on line???? fran

You can get it online, over the phone or even buy it in person.
