The North Texas Tollway Authority is out with a revised list of the top toll runners.

The first list was released July 11th – with the number one violator owing more than $179,000.

Since then, 655 people have paid their outstanding tolls or entered into a payment plan.

The NTTA is offering a lump sum payment option, with a discount. A payment plan is also available. Under both, the violator must buy a toll tag and keep the account in good standing.

Nearly 25,000  people are on the list of drivers that have 100 or more unpaid tolls.
