“THEA has been a valued customer for nearly two decades, and we are honored by the opportunity to continue supporting its mission,” said Whitt Hall, President and CEO of TransCore. “This modernization combines proven technology, an experienced team and a deep understanding of THEA’s operations. We look forward to building on that foundation and continuing our partnership with THEA for years to come.”

As part of the project, TransCore will install new roadside tolling equipment on lanes being added through THEA’s ongoing roadway capacity improvement projects. Coordinating the tolling deployment with these new lanes will help THEA maintain consistent collection operations as additional roadway capacity comes online.
