In 2005, Montgomery County created the Montgomery County Transportation Program (MCTP) to oversee various "pass through toll", called a shadow toll in other  countries, financing projects for the state of Texas, located within Montgomery County. On August 24, 2006, Montgomery County created the Montgomery County Toll Road Authority (MCTRA) to oversee all future toll road projects, located within Montgomery County. When the MCTRA began collecting tolls from the tolling facilities, it used the EZ TAG system along with the two Texas interoperable tags used in the state; Texas Department of Transportation's TxTag and the North Texas Tollway Authority's TollTag as well as any other state tags that Texas becomes interoperable with.
