HARRISBURG – Over 100 PA Turnpike toll violation cases have been referred to the state Attorney General’s Office for action. PA Transportation Secretary Mike Carroll says the vast majority of PA Turnpike travelers pay their tolls, but if someone uses the toll road and intentionally avoids payment, they will be held accountable by the Attorney General. Toll collection enforcement traditionally has three phases. First, Toll By Plate invoices are sent to the registered owner’s address. If unpaid, the individual is handed over to a collection agency. If payment is still not made, and the customer has four or more outstanding Toll By Plate invoices or owes tolls and fees of $250 or more, their vehicle registration is suspended by PennDOT. Over the last five years, the PA Turnpike has strengthened its enforcement efforts, resulting in increased payments. As of November 2025, the PA Turnpike Commission has collected more than $56 million in unpaid tolls and fees from violators.
