PikePass / K-Tag (OK/KS turnpikes)

[Dan Robinson]

I stopped to get a PikePass (Oklahoma turnpikes) transponder today in OKC, and learned that they have merged the K-Tag (Kansas Turnpike) systems with PikePass. That is, either state's transponders now work in Kansas, Oklahoma and in the DFW metro.

If you have both, they told me, use only one - as having both mounted may double-charge you at each plaza. At least that's the word straight from the source.

I have had a K-Tag for a couple of years, but it doesn't work about 1 out of every 5 times. Enough that I can't trust it and have to go through the cashier lanes in case it glitches out. I went ahead and got the PikePass, and I plan to just use it from now on.

It has never made much sense to me that states did not coordinate from the start with the while toll pass thing. Seems like it would be easy enough.
As for K-Tag, I've never had one but have heard the exact same complaints that you have from many others regarding proper recording of tolls.

The OK Pike pass is also now working on toll roads in Texas.
