All-Electronic Tolling

The PA Turnpike Commission’s tolling system will take images of license plates of vehicles not equipped with a valid E‑ZPass transponder. A Toll By Plate (TBP) invoice will be mailed to the vehicle's registered owner. The TBP invoice will have a license plate image, travel information, and payment options.

All-Electronic Tolling allows all customers to pay without stopping at Toll Points. Motorists no longer pay with cash on the roadway. All tolls are collected electronically while motorists travel at the posted speed. Motorists pay using E‑ZPass or PA Turnpike Toll By Plate (TBP), the PA Turnpike Commission's license plate tolling program.

Motorists who opt to use PA Turnpike Toll By Plate will have the same privacy protections currently enjoyed by our E‑ZPass customers. The security of personal and financial information is of primary importance. The PA Turnpike Commission follows Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards (DSS). These standards require an annual compliance audit as well as periodic reviews of security policies and procedures, routine intrusion detection, and penetration testing of all systems.

Yes. The PA Turnpike Commission's All-Electronic Tolling (AET) system will take images of all license plates regardless of the state registration that are not equipped with a valid E‑ZPass transponder. A Toll By Plate (TBP) invoice will be mailed to the vehicle's registered owner.

All-Electronic Tolling (AET) is safer, quicker, more convenient for customers and better for the environment. AET is safer because customers no longer have to change lanes depending on their payment method. With AET, customers no longer have to stop at Toll Points reducing travel times and vehicle emissions. Finally, E‑ZPass usage represents over 80% of all PA Turnpike toll transactions system-wide.
