OTA Gears Up for AET Pilot Project

KWTV News reports, “Drivers must get ready for ‘Plate Pay’ on the Creek Turnpike. The upgraded Peoria-Elm ramps and interchanges in Jenks are getting the new toll technology.” The report adds that the Oklahoma Turnpike has scheduled Plate Pay to start in January 2017. The turnpike authority’s Plate Pay FAQs say, “This is a pilot project for all-electronic tolling on the Oklahoma Turnpike system. The OTA will continue to evaluate all-electronic tolling at other toll [plazas] across the state when necessary.”
