Toll Enforcement

IF YOU KNOW YOU OWE...

Toll enforcement keeps travel fair and funds progress. Every toll dollar goes back into the roads—improving safety, maintaining reliability, and building better infrastructure for your journey.

Ignoring your Toll by Plate invoices won’t make them go away. Unpaid balances can lead to suspended vehicle registration, escalating fines, and legal action.

It’s time to pay your fair share.

Customers who are in revenue enforcement or have been referred to a collection agency may be eligible for a payment plan.

What is a Habitual Offender?

The PA Turnpike Commission defines a "Habitual Offender" as a registered vehicle owner who has failed to pay four (4) or more Toll By Plate invoices or owes tolls and fees that collectively total more than $250. Refer to 75 Pa.C.S. § 1380.

A customer travels on the PA Turnpike without a valid E-ZPass Transponder

A Toll By Plate invoice is mailed to the registered vehicle owner and must be paid or contested within 30 days.

After 30 days, a past due invoice is issued with a late fee of the greater $5 or 1.5% of tolls.

After 60 days, the unpaid invoice is sent to a collection agency with a collection fee imposed.

The unpaid invoice will remain in collections for 90 days. If the invoice remains unpaid additional toll enforcement mechanisms commence.

The customer receives an eligible registration suspension letter when either criteria are met: (1) four outstanding invoices; or (2) $250 in unpaid tolls and fees.

The customer does not resolve unpaid tolls within 30 days, PennDOT issues a pending registration suspension letter.

The customer does not resolve unpaid tolls within 42 days after receiving the pending registration letter, PennDOT will execute an active indefinite registration suspension.

A restoration fee is imposed by PennDOT and is collected with payment of tolls and fees before registration can be restored.

Driving with a suspended vehicle registration can lead to criminal penalties & loss of driving privileges. Avoid being a Habitual Offender and save money by having a valid E-ZPass.
