With cashless tolling, all motorists benefit from the convenience of non- stop 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 exisng toll facilies. 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.

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. WHY THE BEAVER VALLEY EXPRESSWAY? Toll 376 is ideal for the second cashless tolling locaon: • 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 cket-based system in Cranberry. • A mix of tollbooths and coin baskets allows for a comparison of both types of collecon methods to cashless tolling. • E-ZPass usage is lighter, and therefore allows for an evaluaon of a larger PA Turnpike TOLL BY PLATE audience.

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.

A NEW WAY TO PAYCash customers pay with the PA
Turnpike TOLL BY PLATE program, which captures a photo of the license plate and sends an invoice by mail to the registered owner of the vehicle.
TRAVEL AS USUALE-ZPass continues to be the
most affordable way to travel the PA Turnpike.
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. See rendering for more details.
