Cashless Tolling at the Delaware River
Paving the Way for New I-95 Connection
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) changed its tolling system and
configuration in southeastern Pennsylvania to help fund its I-95 Interchange Project.
The new system includes a new toll, collected at a cashless tolling point, and a new
mainline toll plaza to serve as the beginning/end to the ticket system further west
called Neshaminy Falls.
This new cashless tolling point assesses
tolls as vehicles pass under an overhead
gantry at highway speed for westboundtraffic only just after crossing the
Delaware River. Customers pay using
E-ZPass or the new PA Turnpike TOLL BY
PLATE program for those who usually
pay with cash.
The new tolling point is part of the $1.4
billion PA Turnpike/Interstate 95 (I-95)
Interchange Project that will directly
connect the Pennsylvania Turnpike and
I-95, as required by federal legislation
to make I-95 continuous from Maine to
Florida.
Toll plaza facilities previously located at
the southeastern end of the Turnpike
at the Delaware River Bridge (milepost
359) and the Delaware Valley/U.S.
Route 13 Interchange (Exit 358) have
been removed. Exit 358 remains open to
traffic with no toll.
The new Neshaminy Falls Toll Plaza
(#353) is located just east of the
Bensalem Interchange (#351) and
replaces the Delaware River Bridge Toll
Plaza as the new beginning/end of the
PA Turnpike’s ticket-based system. Cash
customers need to stop to pick up a ticket
(westbound) or pay their toll (eastbound)
at this new mainline toll plaza. E-ZPass
customers enjoy the convenience of
traveling at highway speed through
Express Lanes at this location.
A second cashless tolling project is
anticipated to be launched on the Beaver
Valley Expressway (BVE), the tolled
portion of I-376, in western PA in April
2017. Although the BVE project will be
cashless, there are some differences
including traffic volume, type of existing
facilities and the number of cash
customers. These contrasting projects
will allow the PA Turnpike to continue
evaluating the safety and efficiency of
cashless tolling without layoffs of
full-time employees.

A NEW WAY TO PAY
Cash customers pay with the
PA Turnpike TOLL BY PLATE
program, which captures a
photo of the license plate and
sends the registered vehicle
owner an invoice by mail.
BUSINESS AS USUAL
E-ZPass continues to be
the most affordable way
to travel the PA Turnpike.
E-ZPass accounts for more
than 80% of transactions in
southeastern Pennsylvania.
