Overview
- The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission has formally partnered with the Attorney General’s Office, referring more than 100 egregious unpaid‑toll cases to the Civil Law Division within the past year.
- Referred accounts generally carry balances above $12,000 in tolls and fees, with some commercial accounts exceeding $150,000, including about $153,000 in Bucks County and more than $116,000 in Montgomery County.
- The standard process remains in place: toll‑by‑plate invoicing, referral to collection agencies, and PennDOT registration suspension once there are four or more unpaid invoices or at least $250 owed.
- Cases sent to the Attorney General may face civil collection actions, and the Turnpike supports license‑plate recognition to identify vehicles operating with suspended registrations.
- Officials report 92–94% of transactions are paid within 60 days and more than $56 million collected over five years, with early fiscal‑year 2026 revenues up and expanded payment options including Apple Pay, Google Pay, and KUBRA cash locations.
