The North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA) works to keep pace with the regional demand for transportation through expansion of North Texas’ toll road system and implementation of improved operational efficiencies. The NTTA, a political subdivision of the State of Texas under Chapter 366 of the Transportation Code, is empowered to acquire, construct, maintain, repair and operate turnpike projects; to raise capital for construction projects through the issuance of Turnpike Revenue Bonds; and to collect tolls to operate, maintain and pay debt service on those projects. ''"The mission of the North Texas Tollway Authority is to improve the quality of life, mobility, and the regional economy of North Texas by providing fiscally sound toll facilities."'' NTTA ROADWAYS
