<div style="color: #202122; font-size: 16px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6;">
<strong style="font-weight: bold;">System:</strong> All-electronic toll collection (TxTag + Pay-By-Mail)<br>
<strong style="font-weight: bold;">Length:</strong> 107 miles open (184 miles planned) - Houston's outer loop<br>

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">No, you don't need a TxTag specifically, but you MUST have an electronic toll tag to use Grand Parkway. As a completely cashless toll road, there are no cash payment options, no toll booths, and no stopping to pay anywhere on the system.</p>

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">Key Reality:</strong> Pay-by-mail customers pay 50% more than toll tag users. For the full northeast to southwest arc (Spring to Baytown), that's approximately $11 each way with a toll tag versus $16.50 for pay-by-mail.</p>

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">2025 Update:</strong> Grand Parkway now spans 107 miles with 8 segments open, making it America's longest beltway. Segments H and I-1 opened in May 2022, completing the northeast arc.</p>

<h2 style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 25px 0 15px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #a2a9b1; padding-bottom: 2px;">Grand Parkway Toll Costs: Current Rates</h2>

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Grand Parkway operates with segment-based pricing, with costs varying by vehicle class, payment method, and specific segments traveled.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Can I pay cash on Grand Parkway?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">No, Grand Parkway is completely cashless with no toll booths anywhere on the system. You must use an electronic toll tag or pay-by-mail (50% surcharge).</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Is Grand Parkway worth the toll cost?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Yes, for outer suburb connections. Grand Parkway allows travel between Katy, Spring, Humble, and Baytown without going through downtown Houston, saving 30-60 minutes during peak hours.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Which toll tag works best on Grand Parkway?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">TxTag is the primary operator's tag, but EZ TAG, TollTag, K-TAG, and PikePass all work. All provide the same toll tag rates (50% savings over pay-by-mail).</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">When will the complete Grand Parkway loop be finished?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Segment B-1 construction begins Spring 2027 (completion 2030). The remaining segments (A, B, C) connecting the southeast are still under review with no firm timeline.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">How does Grand Parkway compare to Beltway 8?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Grand Parkway is the outer loop (25-mile radius) while Beltway 8 is the middle loop (15-mile radius). Grand Parkway serves outer suburbs, while Beltway 8 serves inner suburbs and connects to downtown.</p>
