The revamped system includes recalculated toll prices and new toll plazas that allow E-ZPass users to drive through without needing to stop.
The Ohio Turnpike's Swanton toll plaza, seen here, is part of the turnpike's revamped tolling system. Like other toll plazas, it includes lanes that allow E-ZPass account holders to drive through without stopping. COLUMBUS, Ohio—The Ohio Turnpike’s revamped new toll plazas, which will allow E-ZPass users to drive through without needing to stop, could go live in about a month, according to a turnpike spokesman.
Drivers without an E-ZPass will still have to stop at tollbooths to pay with cash or a credit card. Cameras are being set up to catch the license plates of non-E-ZPass drivers who use E-ZPass lanes; those drivers will then receive a bill in the mail. Westbound passenger vehicles headed out of Ohio into Indiana will also have to pay an additional toll of $2 for E-ZPass holders, and $3 for people paying with cash or credit card; eastbound traffic, however, won’t be charged any toll at the Pennsylvania border.
Under the Ohio Turnpike's new tolling scheme, drivers entering Ohio on the highway from Indiana or Pennsylvania will be charged a flat fee. Exits near those borders will be free, but motorists between Swanton and Newton Falls will be charged additional tolls based on how long they drive on the turnpike.
