Tolling

A state-of-the-art electronic tolling system, Open Road Tolling (ORT), would be used for the I-80 Toll Conversion Project. ORT includes electronic toll collection structures that span the main highway corridor at nine locations every 30 to 40 miles. This system is dramatically different from the system currently used on the Pennsylvania Turnpike because tolls are assessed without vehicles ever having to stop at a tollbooth. All of the entrances and exits to
I-80 will remain and no toll booths will be constructed.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) has offered drivers who register for E-ZPass, the Turnpike’s electronic toll collection program, a tremendous cost saving incentive to join. E-ZPass customers with non-commercial passenger vehicles will not be charged a toll until the second collection point. For example, if you enter I-80 in Clarion and travel to Grove City and back, you will never pay a toll. This means:

• More drivers will stay on I-80 – potential traffic diverting from
  I-80 to avoid tolling points will be reduced by 60 to 80 percent in many locations
• Less drivers will pay tolls – with 70 percent of all I-80 cars entering and exiting without ever having to pay a toll
