Ohio utilizes the E-ZPass system for electronic toll collection on its toll roads, including the Ohio Turnpike. The E-ZPass transponder allows for seamless travel through toll plazas without stopping, as tolls are automatically deducted from a prepaid account. This system is part of a larger network that includes multiple states, enabling interoperability across various toll facilities.
For Ohio residents, the Ohio Turnpike leases E-ZPass transponders at a cost of $0.75 per month. There is also a one-time $3.00 charge deducted when the transponder is shipped. To maintain the account, a minimum balance of $25 per transponder is required. When the balance falls below $10, the account auto-replenishes to $25 using the linked credit card.
It’s important to note that while E-ZPass is widely accepted across many states, it is not universally compatible with all toll systems in the United States. Therefore, travelers should verify E-ZPass acceptance in states they plan to visit.
