Cherokee Turnpike now cashless

Video: What options will you have at the cashless Creek Turnpike tolls?

DELAWARE COUNTY, Okla. — Another turnpike in Green Country in now cashless.

The Cherokee Turnpike made the switch to pay-by-plate Thursday.

It’s the second Turnpike to go cashless this week. The Creek Turnpike made the change on Tuesday.

Cashless Tolling technology allows motorists to continue through toll plazas without stopping to pay a toll, whether they have a PIKEPASS or not.

Cameras at these toll plazas take a photo of the vehicle’s license plate as the vehicle passes through and then:

If the driver has a PIKEPASS, the account is charged as usual.

If the driver does not have a PIKEPASS, OTA will mail an invoice to the registered owner of the vehicle. The PlatePay rate is higher than the PIKEPASS rate. To avoid the higher rate, we encourage customers to open a Pikepass account.
