When the PA Turnpike launches ORT in 2025, toll rates will include a per-mile charge based on the length of the “segment” — the stretch of roadway between interchanges that customers travel — along with a fixed charge at each gantry. The per-mile rate and fixed charge will be determined by the vehicle’s classification. These rates will be set and announced before ORT conversion.    

In addition, the Turnpike is using this change as an opportunity to standardize per-mile toll rates statewide. Because the Turnpike opened in sections in the 1940s and 50s, tolls were set for each segment based on revenue requirements at the time. Today, these per-mile rates can vary based on the road’s age. As ORT is implemented, the PA Turnpike Commission plans to standardize per-mile rates to bring uniformity across the 564-mile Turnpike system.
