Prepaid/Postpaid (CVO1)

This account offers a postpaid option for commercial vehicle customers not currently enrolled in any other E-ZPass program.

It requires annual usage on the Pennsylvania Turnpike of at least $1,000 and a surety bond in an amount equal to two months gross tolls on the Pennsylvania Turnpike or a minimum of $3,000. If you already have a surety form on file with the Pennsylvania Turnpike, you do not need to complete another. Your E-ZPass usage on the Pennsylvania Turnpike will be invoiced monthly. This invoice is only eligible for a volume discount if payment is postmarked by the 24th of each month. The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission E-ZPass Customer Service Center accepts checks, cash (walk-in only), or money orders for payment of invoices. Invoices cannot be paid by credit card. Invoices must be paid within 30 days to avoid interest (see Commercial vehicle E-ZPass Agreement), and will include a monthly service fee. A prepaid balance is required for travel on other E-ZPass roadways (see CVO2).

Credit for a postpaid account is secured with the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission by providing a surety bond. A surety bond is an insurance policy that guarantees that the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission will receive payment in the event the account holder defaults on payment of its invoice. The surety bond is equal to the greater of two month’s gross tolls on the Pennsylvania Turnpike or a minimum of $3,000. In lieu of a surety bond, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission will accept a certified or cashier’s check in the amount of the required bond. 

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission will periodically review each account to ensure there is a proper amount of surety. If an increase in surety is required, the company must supply the added surety within 30 days after being notified.

A blank surety form is available on the web at www.paturnpike.com for downloading or printing. This form may also be emailed to your surety provider for completion. Please do not return applications without the proper surety bond attached.
