The Kansas Turnpike currently has Self-Pay lanes at many interchanges (see below):
Times of Self-Pay operation vary by interchange depending on the volume of traffic. The Cassoday, Council Grove/Osage City, and Tonganoxie-Eudora interchanges operate as Self-Pay continuously.
If a driver is unable to physically operate a Self Pay machine, we encourage them to obtain a K-TAG for payment convenience.
Any customer may apply for a K-TAG through this web site and pay the standard $5 purchase price, but if they have a physical condition that makes it challenging to use a Self Pay machine, they may apply for a K-TAG at no purchase cost by first contacting the Kansas ADA Coordinator’s Office at 785-296-1389. If the ADA office makes an appropriate recommendation, KTA will provide a K-TAG at no purchase cost, but the customer will still be responsible for paying the standard K-TAG fares for each trip and abiding by all established KTA/K-TAG policies.
