<div style="background: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #dee2e6; border-radius: 8px; padding: 20px; padding-bottom:0">
<div style="color: #202122; font-size: 16px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6;">

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">No, you don't need a TollTag to drive on the President George Bush Turnpike - but you'll pay double the rate without one. The PGBT operates with 100% electronic toll collection, meaning no cash payment options are available anywhere on the 52-mile route.</p>

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">Key Reality:</strong> Without a TollTag, you'll pay $21.88 for the full length versus $10.94 with a transponder - that's a $10.94 penalty for not having an electronic tag.</p>

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">2025 Update:</strong> NTTA increased TollTag rates from $0.21 to $0.22 per mile effective July 1, 2025, with ZipCash customers continuing to pay double the TollTag rate. The PGBT was the first toll road in the United States to convert to all-electronic collection in 2009.</p>

<h2 style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 25px 0 15px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #a2a9b1; padding-bottom: 2px;">President George Bush Turnpike Toll Costs: Current Rates</h2>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Can I pay cash on the President George Bush Turnpike?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">No, the President George Bush Turnpike operates with 100% electronic toll collection. Cash payment was eliminated in 2009 when it became the first US toll road to convert to all-electronic tolling.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">What happens if I don't have a TollTag?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Your license plate will be photographed and you'll receive a ZipCash bill by mail at double the TollTag rate.

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Do motorcycles pay tolls on the Bush Turnpike?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Yes, motorcycles pay the same 2-axle rate as cars. However, they need a special motorcycle TollTag since standard tags are designed for windshield mounting.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Can I use my TollTag from other states?</h3>
