Background and Discussion:

As a result of moving to a hands-free for toll payments (drive now, pay later) during 2020, Harris County Toll Road Authority (HCTRA) call volumes and image reviews have increased.  Additional office space locations are needed to manage this high demand of customer calls and daily volume of images.  Approval of this request will provide office space in the west sector of the region.  With Commissioners Court approval, the lease will commence when landlord has substantially completed the space and continue for 48 months.

 

Expected Impact:

This lease agreement will permit HCTRA to accommodate office space for needed Customer Service, Image Review, EZ TAG Store, and support services personnel.

 

Alternative Options:

No other recommended solutions for this identified need.
