Thousands of Texas drivers were hit with high toll bills after they used transponders to pay their tolls and were charged late fees, despite paying their bills on time.

The Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority is taking responsibility for a glitch that caused about 1,200 TxTag and CTRMA customers to be charged late fees.

 CTRMA manages toll roads like 183A, 290, 71 and the Mopac express lanes throughout Texas. 

“Our vendor alerted us on November 9, 2022, to an issue that delayed the posting of certain payments,” CTRMA said in a statement on Wednesday. “This issue impacted a very small subset of the payments processed between October 21 and November 14, 2022.”

Officials say they are working with the vendors and their payment processing company to fix the glitch, and come up with a solution.

The Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority says thousands of customers were overcharged.

In 2015, the agency gave back about $1.7 million to tollway users who had been overcharged. It is unclear how much money the state will owe drivers who were wrongfully charged in this recent debacle.
