The 375 Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has reselected 1677 Atkins as its state-wide prime consultant for toll-plaza planning, development, and implementation. Under the terms of the five-year, US$10 million contract, Atkins will provide planning, development, infrastructure design and coordination, and construction oversight services, as well as system installation, integration, and testing services for TxDOT toll and managed-lane facilities throughout Texas.

TxDOT currently operates more than 493 lane miles of toll roads in Texas. In January 2013, all toll collections on Texas roadways were converted to an all-electronic system, which makes the need for accurate and reliably functioning toll plazas more vital than ever. TxDOT’s objectives are to collect toll revenue by means of a highly effective open-road process, and to reduce costs using proven technical applications and efficient maintenance processes.

Atkins is currently supporting eight toll-related projects in various phases of development and implementation in Texas, with another eight scheduled and more anticipated.
