The PTC is committed to reducing the impact tolls will cause drivers located near a toll facility. As such, the PTC has announced an incentive program that would allow E-ZPass customers driving a 2-axle passenger vehicle not to pay a toll until the second toll collection point. If your trip does not require you to pass through a second tolling point, you will not pay a toll.
A trip on I-80 is defined as a one way movement where you enter at one interchange and exit at another. The reverse movement (returning home from work, for example) would be considered a second trip.
For example, as an E-ZPass customer, if you were to get on I-80 in Clarion and drive to the Grove City Outlets and back; you would not pay a toll because you would only pass through one toll site on each trip.
Volume discounts are also offered to E-ZPass commercial customers. A summary of the incentives is listed below:
- 10% for monthly tolls of $1,000 to $5,000
- 15% for monthly tolls of $5,000 to $10,000
- 20% for monthly tolls of $10,000 and up
With nine toll locations, spaced on average 35 miles apart, there will be one tolling point for every five to six interchanges. The chart below outlines the proposed toll rates for I-80.
