The Hero You Need: The PIKEPASS Website
Oklahoma's got a superhero for missed tolls, and its name is PIKEPASS (don't worry, there's no cape involved, but it is pretty darn convenient). Head over to the PIKEPASS website (
QuickTip: Pause at lists — they often summarize.
Alternatively: Snail Mail
Maybe you're more of a traditionalist, the kind of person who writes heartfelt letters and enjoys the calming rhythm of a stamp against an envelope. If that's you, you can also pay by mailing a check or money order to the address listed on the PIKEPASS website's Missed Toll Payment section. Just be sure to include your license plate number, the date of the missed toll, and the turnpike you were on. Think of it as a handwritten apology to the tollbooth you accidentally snubbed.
Uh Oh! What if I Don't Hear from PIKEPASS?
If you don't take action within a few days, you might receive a Notice of Toll Evasion Violation. This basically means you've gotten a formal invitation to pay your missed toll, along with a little extra fee (because, hey, paperwork takes time). Don't fret, the process is the same as above – you can still pay online or by mail using the information on the notice.
Here's the Golden Rule: Don't Ignore It!
Tip: Use this post as a starting point for exploration.
Ignoring a missed toll is a recipe for a bigger headache down the road. Late fees can add up quickly, and you don't want to find yourself on some Oklahoma toll scofflaw list (it's probably not a prestigious list).
