Cashless
Tolling
Beaver Valley
E x p r es sway
April 2017
In April 2017, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) will introduce cashless tolling on the I-376 Beaver Valley
Expressway (Toll 376), in Beaver and Lawrence counties. Toll 376 is the second location selected to test a cashless
tolling system. This change will occur without employee layoffs. Toll collectors will be relocated to other toll plazas
within the system.
W h at I s C a s h l e s s T o l l i n g ?
With cashless tolling, all motorists benefit from the convenience of nonstop travel. Tolls are assessed electronically as vehicles travel through toll
plazas. No need to stop and drop loose change in a basket. All motorists
keep moving at the posted speed limit through all lanes of the existing
toll facilities. Customers pay using E-ZPass or the new PA Turnpike Toll
BY Plate. E-ZPass customers will have their toll deducted from their
pre-paid account as usual. Customers without E-ZPass will be sent a
PA Turnpike TOLL BY PLATE invoice. High-speed cameras mounted at
the tollbooths will take a picture of the vehicle’s license plate and the
registered owner will receive the invoice by mail.

Toll 376 is ideal for the second cashless tolling location:
• It is located in a rural area, off the mainline Turnpike, but close
enough to the state line to provide a mix of out-of-state and
in-state users.
• It will impact fewer customers due to lower average daily traffic.
• Access to and from the expressway occurs west of the beginning/
end of the PA Turnpike’s ticket-based system in Cranberry.
• A mix of tollbooths and coin baskets allows for a comparison of
both types of collection methods to cashless tolling.
• E-ZPass usage is lighter, and therefore allows for an evaluation
of a larger PA Turnpike TOLL BY PLATE audience.

most affordable way to travel the
PA Turnpike.

First Cashless Tolling Point Opened in Eastern
Pennsylvania in January 2016

In January 2016, a highway-speed cashless tolling point
successfully opened near the PA Turnpike Bridge over
the Delaware River in Bucks County, PA. This cashless
toll is collected while motorists travel at highway speed
underneath gantries that span the mainline Turnpike as
they travel into Pennsylvania from New Jersey over the
Delaware River.
In contrast, Toll 376 will be collected as motorists pass
through existing toll plazas. New equipment was added
to capture license plate images from the vehicles of
non-E-ZPass subscribers. Those customers will receive a
PA Turnpike Toll By Plate invoice in the mail.
