CASHLESS TOLL
In April 2017, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) introduced cashless tolling on the I-376 Beaver Valley Expressway (Toll 376), in Beaver and Lawrence counties. This change occured without employee layoffs. Toll collectors were relocated to other toll plazas within the system.
What is Cashless Tolling?With cashless tolling, all motorists benefit from the convenience of nonstop travel. Tolls are assessed electronically as motorists keep moving at the posted speed. Customers pay using E-ZPass or the PA Turnpike TOLL BY PLATE program. E-ZPass customers will have their toll
deducted from their account as usual. Customers without E-ZPass will be mailed a PA Turnpike TOLL BY PLATE invoice. Cameras will take a picture of the vehicle’s license plate and the registered owner will receive the invoice by mail.
AET In Place
• It is located in a rural area, off the mainline Turnpike, but close enough to the state line to provide a mix of out-of-state and in-state users.
• It impacts fewer customers due to lower average daily traffic.
• Access to and from the expressway occurs west of the beginning/end of the PA Turnpike’s ticket-based system in Cranberry.
• A mix of tollbooths and coin baskets allows for a comparison of both types of collection methods to cashless tolling.
• E-ZPass usage is lighter, and therefore allows for an evaluation of a larger PA Turnpike TOLL BY PLATE audience.

Cashless Tolling ProjectsThe PA Turnpike Commission (PTC) is testing cashless tolling through a series of pilot projects shown on the below map. The goal is to test this system in different settings with unique characteristics, including overall traffic volume, E-ZPass usage and level of out-of-state traffic.
Nationally and globally, all-electronic tolling (AET) or cashless tolling brought enhanced access and ease of travel to customers. Other agencies that have switched to cashless tolling systems found that safety at toll plazas improved for motorists who no longer have to change lanes in these compressed areas.
In January 2016, a highway-speed cashless tolling point successfully opened at the PA Turnpike Bridge over the Delaware River in Bucks County, PA. In April 2017, the PTC introduced cashless tolling on the Beaver Valley Expressway (Toll 376), in Beaver and Lawrence counties. In spring 2018, the PTC launch two pilots, one at Clarks Summit and Keyser Avenue in April and the second on the Findlay Connector in June. All pilot projects are being tested without employee layoffs.
