PA Turnpike Launches Open Road Tolling

This January, the PA Turnpike launched Open Road Tolling (ORT) east of Reading and along the Northeast Extension. The rest of the PA Turnpike will adopt the change in 2027.

Under the ORT system, tolls are charged electronically as customers drive at highway speeds beneath overhead structures called gantries without slowing down or stopping at toll booths. Equipment on the gantry and in the roadway classifies and identifies the vehicle and electronically processes tolls, allowing for free-flowing traffic, while also reducing accidents, improving the environment and enabling new access points. You will begin to see toll booth demolition this spring.
