EP One-Stop Shop Now Issues Toll Tags

Good news: El Paso's One-Stop Shop will now issue TollTags and accept payments for the CÉSAR CHÁVEZ EXPRESS TOLL LANES. This follows the unanimous vote by the Camino Real Regional Mobility Authority to end its relationship with payday predatory lenders. HERE is my last post on the matter. Below is the complete city press release:

Raymond  L. Telles, Camino Real Regional Mobility Authority, (915) 212-1072
Javier C. Camacho, City Development Department, (915) 212-1615 or (915) 838-5578
One-Stop Shop, 811 Texas Avenue, (915) 212-0104
 
The City of El Paso’s One-Stop Shop will now issue TollTags and accept payments for the CÉSAR CHÁVEZ EXPRESS TOLL LANES
 

EL PASO, TX – El Paso drivers can now sign up for and replenish their TollTag accounts at the City of El Paso’s One Stop Shop – a convenient location for making payments for various City of El Paso services in downtown El Paso, including permits, licenses and now César Chávez toll bills.
 
The One-Stop Shop, located at 811 Texas Avenue, will allow commuters to acquire and replenish their TollTags as well as make payments for their “Pay-By-Mail” toll bills all in person. The One-Stop Shop accepts cash, checks, money orders and major credit cards.  There is a processing fee for all credit cards which is 1.98% of the payment amount.
 
The César Chávez Express Toll Lanes, the first project of its kind in El Paso, consist of one express lane in each direction of the nine-mile Loop 375  Border Highway corridor from US 54 to Zaragoza.  The goal of the express toll lanes is to alleviate congestion from I-10 and provide a safer, more reliable commute. Drivers are encouraged to sign up for a TollTag account for regular use of the toll lanes, as the most efficient and least expensive way to use the lanes. TollTag users can sign up online at www.EPexpress.org, by calling (915) 351-8655 or now, in person at the One-Stop Shop.
 
With the automated TollTag account, the toll gantry will charge between 40 cents – 50 cents depending on where the driver entered the lanes or a total of ninety cents for use of the entire nine-mile corridor.  Those without TollTags will have their license plates recorded by high-speed cameras that provide digital data to toll administrators who use the data to calculate and deliver periodic toll bills.  The non-TollTag process is referred to as the “Pay-By-Mail” option.
 
A great resource to get answers for most frequently asked question regarding TollTags, violations, and fees is to visit the César Chávez Express Toll Lanes website at www.EPexpress.org.
