Tex Toll Services, a subsidiary of 5428 Cintra in the USA, which is in turn a branch of 4419 Ferrovial, has awarded Spain-headquartered 509 Indra a US$14.9 million contract to implement electronic toll back office systems on the SH-130, LBJ Express and North Tarrant Express highways, in Texas.

Besides the development, implementation and maintenance of the electronic toll systems back office on the three highways, the contract also includes the setting up of two high-availability data processing centres, one in Austin and the other in Dallas. This innovative solution possesses a multi-concession feature specifically designed to meet Ferrovial’s needs in the USA by helping to reduce a significant amount of expenses as it allows management and integrated operation of the toll collection of all three highways. Indra says that undertaking the integration of the toll systems for three highways in Texas is a significant transport and traffic sector reference in the USA that will help consolidate the company’s presence.

Indra was the sole supplier of the toll collection systems for Indiana’s Toll Road highway. It also implemented its ticketing systems in the St Louis Light Rail in Missouri and in the Metro of Austin, Texas.
