<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 an EZ TAG to use the Hardy Toll Road - but you'll save money with one. The Hardy Toll Road converted to all-electronic tolling in July 2016, eliminating all cash payment options.</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> EZ TAG holders receive a 10% discount on Hardy Toll Road for 2-axle vehicles (implemented September 2023). Without an EZ TAG, you'll pay higher Pay-By-Mail rates plus administrative fees.</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> Hardy Toll Road remains a crucial IAH Airport connector and I-45 alternative, with the planned Downtown Connector extension under community review.</p>
