How to pay missed toll on Oklahoma Turnpike
If you could not pay toll while crossing the gantry or booth, it will be counted as a toll violation which needs to be paid later. Learn about the various ways to pay missed tolls in Oklahoma.
What is PikePass
PikePass or PPass is an electronic tag that you can install in your vehicle to pay tolls on Oklahoma turnpikes. You need not stop to pay tolls; it'll automatically deduct relevant charges from the linked account when the vehicle crosses the electronic gantry. The PikePass is cheaper: average 5% less than cash rate tolls. Refer to the PikPass tag to get information about how to use it, where it works and more.
Is the Oklahoma Turnpike cash only
The OTA plans to complete the transition to fully cashless tolling across all turnpikes by the end of 2024. This transition aims to eliminate cash toll payments at toll plazas, simplifying the process for drivers. Instead, travelers will need to use the PikePass transponder system or PlatePay for their toll payments.
How to get a PIKEPASS online
You will need the following to open an account online:
- Driver's License Initial Payment must be paid by Credit / Debit card
- License Plate or VIN Number, State, Year, Make & Model for each vehicle
