Be alert
to the other vehicles around the plaza and be cautious when making
turning or merging movements.
If you
return your external or first generation tag(s) (non-sticker) to KTA for any reason, please clean tag(s) before
returning.
Please
don’t...
...hold the tag in your hand or attempt to use the tag any way other
than instructed. This may result in a maximum fare to your account.
...exceed
20 mph through the dedicated lane and 10 mph through the mixed-use
lanes.
...follow
too closely. The vehicle in front of you may not have a tag. Maintain
a following distance that will allow you to stop at a reasonable distance
if the vehicle in front of you comes to a complete stop.
...write
or mark on external or first generation tags. If you need to identify your transponder,
write the information on a piece of tape and place the tape on the
tag. The tape can be easily removed if the tag needs to be returned
to KTA.
Lost/Stolen
tags
Report lost or stolen tags to the KTA at once by phone, fax, mail,
or e-mail. Until we are notified of the lost tag, you will be responsible
for the tolls incurred. The charge for a lost/stolen or damaged tag
is $34.00.
Invalid
tag
If the gate does not open, wait for instructions from the toll collector.
Do not get out of your vehicle and walk across the lane.
Overheight
vehicles
Attention large vehicles — if you see a flashing red light as
you enter, stop on the shoulder and wait for instructions from a Turnpike
employee. You may be overheight.
If you hit a gate, pull over out of traffic and wait for further instructions
from a Turnpike employee.
Troubleshooting
If you experience any difficulty when you use your new tag:
1. Ensure that your tag is mounted properly for your vehicle.
2. Check for a metal oxide windshield
3. Call a customer service representative for assistance
How to Read your Statement
Your
statement, whether online or printed and mailed, contains four
important sections.
First, your address and account number are in the top part of
the statement. Please make sure to keep your contact information,
including mailing address and phone numbers, up to date. This
is important even if you view your statement online.
The second section lists all of your toll charges, fees, and payments
for the month. The information here includes the Date, and a column
for the Description or Tag Number used for the trip. If the line
lists a toll charge, the entry plaza, exit plaza, and class are
listed. Fare charts for class 2 and class 5, including listings
of plaza numbers and names, are provided on the back of statements
that are printed and mailed. There is a complete listing of fare
tables for all classes, as well as a chart displaying the various
vehicle classifications, which can be accessed online at ksturnpike.com.
The last column will have a two-character explanation code for
any adjustments that have been made to your account. Any adjustment
codes are explained at the very bottom of the statement along
with any special messages that you need to be aware of. This information
is highlighted in yellow. Please review the bottom of the statement
every month.
Finally, on the last page of the statement, there is a summary
of your activity for the month:

A
CR after a balance means that your account has a prepaid (credit)
balance. Any payments are also listed as credits to your account
and will be listed with a CR after them. If your ending balance
shows a CR, your account is prepaid. If any amount is due, it
will be listed at the bottom of this section.
Receipts/Account Information
K-TAG
customers do not receive individual trip receipts because the
transaction is handled electronically. Your statement and your
online account information is your receipt.
However, there are three ways for K-TAG customers to get their
account information:
1. Online at www.ksturnpike.com
2. Over the phone (last trip and account balance)
3. In the mail*
* There is a 50 cent per statement fee for printed, mailed statements.
1-800-873-5824 is available to you for:
- Monitoring your account balance.
- Checking on your last payment.
- Reporting problems with the K-TAG system.
- Reporting lost or stolen tags.
- Requesting additional tags.
| If,
when you approach the plaza, the dedicated K-TAG lane is closed,
please pay close attention to the attendant in the mixed-mode
lane. The KTA closes dedicated lanes when there is an emergency
to help alert K-TAG customers of problems they may encounter
on the roadway (i.e.: inclement weather, accidents, etc.). |
