Montgomery County Toll Road Authority

MCTRA operates one toll road: the MCTRA 249 Tollway, which serves as the tolled mainlines of SH 249 (Tomball Parkway).

This toll projects are located inside of Montgomery County, in the U.S. state of Texas.

In 2005, Montgomery County created the Montgomery County Transportation Program (MCTP) to oversee various pass through toll,[2] called a shadow toll in other countries, financing projects for the state of Texas, located within Montgomery County.

When the MCTRA began collecting tolls from the tolling facilities, it used the EZ TAG system along with the two Texas interoperable tags used in the state; Texas Department of Transportation's TxTag and the North Texas Tollway Authority's TollTag as well as any other state tags that Texas becomes interoperable with.

Other toll facilities within Montgomery County are maintained by TxDOT and fall outside MCTRA's jurisdiction, including the Grand Parkway (SH 99 Toll) and the Aggie Expressway portion of SH 249 north of FM 1774 in Pinehurst.
