- Pennsylvania’s tiered process runs from Toll By Plate invoices to collection agencies to PennDOT registration suspensions after four invoices or $250 owed, with potential civil actions if debts persist.
- The commission reports collecting 92%–94% of transactions within 60 days and $6.5 million so far this fiscal year, up from $2.4 million in the comparable period last year.
- Officials say unpaid tolls shift costs to compliant drivers, and the Turnpike supports law-enforcement license plate recognition to identify vehicles operating with suspended registrations.
- To reduce nonpayment, customers can now use Apple Pay, Google Pay, or KUBRA cash locations at 85,000+ retailers, while E‑ZPass offers up to 50% savings and a 15% discount is available for pre‑registered Toll By Plate users; a 4% toll increase takes effect Jan. 4, 2026 under Act 44 obligations.
