This agreement will allow drivers who routinely drive on both systems to use either a Kansas K-Tag or Oklahoma Pikepass, rather than both.
“That’s not only good for travellers, it’s good for business,” said Kansas Governor Sam Brownback. “I wanted to see good business ideas when I proposed a formalised partnership between the Kansas Department of Transportation and KTA last year and I applaud Transportation Secretary Mike King for making this a priority.”

“Our customers have been asking for this convenience,” Secretary King said. “I am so proud we’ve been able to work out all the details to make this enhanced customer service a reality in 2014.”
