After five years in the making, the Ohio Turnpike officially launched its new toll collection system as of 2 a.m. Wednesday.
“The modernization of the toll collection system has been a long, challenging, and complex project. But the moment we have anticipated -- following meticulous testing of the electronic tolling system over the past several months -- has arrived,” according to Ferzan M. Ahmed, P.E., executive director of the Ohio Turnpike Infrastructure Commission.
So what’s different?
“To accommodate all travelers on the 241-mile Ohio Turnpike -- designated as Interstate 80, I-90, and I-76 -- the new toll collection system will feature a combination of open road tolling lanes for E-ZPass customers and a gated exit system for non-E-ZPass customers who prefer to pay by cash or credit card,” according to the Turnpike’s site.
