The Short Answer (for the Impatient Soul)
Yes, but with a twist! Here's the deal: if you have a SunPass PRO transponder, you're good to go on most Pennsylvania toll roads. Think of it as your magic ticket to seamless sailing through the Pennsylvania Turnpike without that frantic fumble for loose change.
But what about the OG SunPass? Sorry to break it to you, buddy, but the original SunPass is a bit more, well, Sunshine State-specific. It won't work in Pennsylvania unless you've upgraded to the PRO version.
The Long Answer (for the Curious Wanderer)
Let's delve a little deeper like a hoagie into a picnic basket. The magic behind this interstate toll-paying magic trick is called interoperability. Basically, it means that some toll systems (like SunPass PRO and E-ZPass) have joined forces to make your life easier. So, you can use your SunPass PRO in Pennsylvania because they've got a friendly handshake agreement going on.
