PIKEPASS in a Nutshell
Imagine a tiny superhero clinging to your windshield, ready to zap away tolls with its radio frequency awesomeness. That's basically PIKEPASS. It's a little tag that you stick on your car's windshield, and as you breeze through the toll booth (or rather, the electronic toll lane, because who needs booths anymore?), it wirelessly communicates with the system, deducting the toll fee from your prepaid account.
Translation: No more digging for change, no more awkward stop-and-go, just smooth sailing (well, as smooth as Oklahoma's roads get) at highway speeds.
But Wait, There's More! (Because Perks Are Awesome)
On top of the convenience factor, PIKEPASS throws in some bonus points for being your toll-paying pal:
Tip: Don’t skip the details — they matter.
- Save some moolah: Enjoy an average of 10% discount on those tolls compared to the cash rate (who doesn't love a little cash back?).
- Volume is your friend: Rack up 20 or more qualifying toll transactions a month and you get an additional high-five from PIKEPASS with a 5% credit to your account (because apparently, they dig frequent flyers... drivers?).
Alright, Alright, I'm Sold. How Do I Get This Magical Toll-Zapping Device?
Glad you asked! Getting a PIKEPASS is easier than remembering your grocery list (hopefully). You can snag one at:
