We all know how important the Toll 540/885 Triangle Expressway system has been to improving the lives of our associates and families for more than a decade.
The Turnpike has been a welcome and needed addition to our regions’ mobility landscape, and a transponder has never been required to enjoy the time savings and increased reliability.
However, you and your colleagues should get one in 2025 if you don’t already have one. While your time savings won’t get better, your money savings certainly will.
Starting January 1st, North Carolina residents who use a physical or virtual NC QuickPass transponder will save 50% of tolls. Currently, the savings is 35%, which is significant; the disparity in pricing between post-pay (license plate) and pre-pay (NC QuickPass transponder) tolls will increase on January 1, which makes the benefits of the transponder even more important.
You can see a prior member briefing for more details about the virtual transponder program. Or, you can simply create a new Quickpass account.
We will recognize the NC Turnpike Authority at our annual meeting in just over one month, on Friday, January 24, 2025. One or more tickets are included with your RTA membership – so be sure to register to secure your seat. Please contact RTA membership operations coordinator Jacob Rigg to register for the event or with any questions about event logistics, and reach out to me anytime.
Let’s get moving,
Joe Milazzo II, PE
RTA executive director
