Gone Cashless: Your Pennsylvania Tolling Options
Forget scrambling for quarters - Pennsylvania's turnpikes are all electronic! That means you've got two main choices to settle your toll bill:
QuickTip: If you skimmed, go back for detail.
E-ZPass: This nifty little transponder mounts on your windshield and whisks you through toll booths like royalty (or at least someone who doesn't need to fumble with cash). Plus, you get fancy discounts! Think of it like a VIP pass for the toll party. If you travel Pennsylvania tolls frequently, E-ZPass is your best bet.
Toll-by-Plate: Didn't see the E-ZPass signs and now you're cruising through the toll lane like a rebel without a cause? No worries! Pennsylvania has a Toll-by-Plate system. Basically, they capture your license plate on camera and send you an invoice. Just be prepared to wait a bit for the bill to arrive.
