Pennsylvania Turnpike
This September we will be traveling the Pennsylvania Turnpike while pulling our 5er. What is the best way to deal with the payment of tolls?

- I live in Pennsylvania and I use the EZ-Pass system. It is a transponder device that you put in your car / truck up near the rear view mirror. Once you get the device you register ALL of your license plates including RV plate. You can move the transponder to each car / truck that you have registered so you only need one device. You have to maintain a $35.00 balance in the EZ-Pass account.
Having the EZ-Pass provides two benefits 1 the tolls are less money then if you have them mail you the bill and two there is usually not any wait at the EZ-Pass lanes.
Also EZ-Pass is not just for Pennsylvania. It is accepted in multiple states and Toll Bridges. Below is a link to the Pennsylvania EZ-Pass website. It explains all the details and where you can use it.

Have a great trip!
Dave - As a former 50 year plus resident of the Keystone, depending how far you are traveling the Pike, get your big checkbook out. Most of us always said "the Turnpike Commission should pay you" to drive this mostly outdated road.
- Your plate is photographed and you're sent a bill otherwise you gotta pay at the toll booth. You can visit their website and it will answer all your questions.
