The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority says its switch to “cashless” toll booths is a long-term initiative.
OTA officials say the transition will happen over the next 5 years starting Sunday night at midnight. The first phase only impacts the John Kilpatrick Turnpike, which is important to know if you travel to Oklahoma City. Oklahoma Secretary of Transportation, Tim Gatz, says this won t impact the Pike Pass system and you don t have to do anything if you already have one. However, if you don t have one, you could see higher toll fees. The new cashless system utilizes Plate Pay, which takes a picture of your plate and sends you a bill. If you do not pay the bill, you could have problems renewing your tag.
