MIDDLETOWN – The PA Turnpike Commission is making strides in holding toll evaders accountable. In April, the Commission and the PA State Police collaborated on their first toll enforcement initiative, targeting aggressive drivers, and those driving on a suspended registration resulting from unpaid tolls. Throughout April, enforcement teams carried out over 200 traffic stops, including a single, record-setting day of 23 stops. Of those, more than 90% resulted in drivers taking action to pay toll balances or comply with regulations. Unpaid tolls collected from that record-setting day exceeded $48,000, with the opportunity to collect more than $130,000 in past-due toll balances. Another day’s enforcement action stopped a customer owing more than $100,000 in unpaid tolls. The PA Turnpike will be working with PSP to further refine the process for future enforcement campaigns.
