How the toll works

A ticketed middle with flat-toll ends

Since the toll system was modernised, the Turnpike has three zones. The middle, from the Swanton plaza (MP 48.9) to the Newton Falls plaza (MP 211.0), is a ticketed section where your fare depends on your entry/exit pair. The two ends charge flat barrier tolls instead: Westgate (MP 4.6) in both directions, Eastgate (MP 238.7) westbound only.

Ticketed middle

Pay by entry/exit pair

Between Swanton and Newton Falls, cash drivers take a ticket on entry and pay on exit; E-ZPass drivers are logged electronically. The fare comes from the official matrix for your entry/exit pair, class and payment method.

Westgate barrier

Flat toll near Indiana

Trips crossing MP 4.6 pay a flat barrier toll in either direction: $2.25 E-ZPass / $3.50 cash for a Class 1 car. Local trips between exits 13 and 39 that cross no barrier are free.

Eastgate barrier

Westbound-only toll near Pennsylvania

Westbound traffic crossing MP 238.7 pays a flat round-trip-rate toll: $3.00 E-ZPass / $4.25 cash for Class 1. Eastbound traffic passes Eastgate free, which is why eastbound full-route trips cost less.

Lost ticket penalty

If you cannot produce your entry ticket on exit, expect to be charged the maximum fare for the ticketed section: the full Swanton-to-Newton-Falls run at the cash rate, $20.00 for a Class 1 car, even if you only drove five miles. Clip the ticket to your visor.

Per-mile rates

All eight vehicle classes, both payment methods

Ticket-section fares are built from per-mile rates rounded to the nearest 25 cents; the barrier tolls at each end are flat. Use the calculator above for the exact official fare for your trip.

Frequently asked

What drivers usually want to know

How much does it cost to drive the entire Ohio Turnpike?+
Driving the full 241 miles costs $19.00 westbound (Pennsylvania border to Indiana border) or $16.00 eastbound for a Class 1 passenger car using E-ZPass. Cash/credit card rates for the same route are $27.75 westbound and $23.50 eastbound. Westbound costs more because the Eastgate barrier near the Pennsylvania line charges westbound traffic a flat round-trip toll; eastbound traffic passes it free.
Does E-ZPass work on the Ohio Turnpike?+
Yes. The Ohio Turnpike accepts every E-ZPass transponder issued by any of the 19 plus member states, from Maine to North Carolina and west to Illinois. You do not need an Ohio-issued tag specifically. Out-of-state E-ZPass users still get the discounted Ohio rate (about 33% cheaper than cash for Class 1).
How does Ohio Turnpike toll pricing work?+
It is a hybrid system. The middle of the road, between the Swanton toll plaza (MP 48.9) and the Newton Falls toll plaza (MP 211.0), is a ticketed section: you pay on exit based on your entry/exit pair. The two ends use flat barrier tolls instead: Westgate (MP 4.6, both directions) and Eastgate (MP 238.7, westbound only at a round-trip rate). Tolls scale by vehicle class (1 through 8) and payment method.
What happens if I drive through without paying?+
Cameras record your plate and the Ohio Turnpike mails an invoice at the unpaid-toll rate, which is higher than both the E-ZPass and the cash/credit rate. A $5 fee is added if the first invoice is not paid by its due date, and a further $5 administrative fee applies to in-lane unpaid tolls.
Are there toll-free stretches of the Ohio Turnpike?+
Yes, at the two ends. Tolls are only collected at the Westgate barrier (MP 4.6), within the ticketed section between Swanton and Newton Falls, and at the Eastgate barrier (westbound only). Local trips between exits 13, 25, 34 and 39 in the far west, or between exits 215, 216, 218, 232 and 234 in the far east, cross no toll point and are free. Eastbound traffic also passes Eastgate free.
Is I-80 the same as the Ohio Turnpike?+
For most of its Ohio crossing, yes. I-80 joins the Turnpike at Exit 218 (Niles-Youngstown) and stays on it all the way west to the Indiana border, where it continues as the Indiana Toll Road. I-90 joins at Exit 142 in Lorain County, so the western two-thirds carries I-80 and I-90 together. East of Exit 218 the Turnpike carries I-76 to the Pennsylvania line. So driving I-80 across northern Ohio means paying Ohio Turnpike tolls.
Are there toll roads in Ohio besides the Turnpike?+
No. The Ohio Turnpike is the only major toll road in Ohio. All other interstates and US highways in the state are free, including I-71, I-75, I-77, I-76, I-70, I-475, US-20, US-30, US-23, US-33 and US-50. There are no toll bridges or toll tunnels operated by the state.
What is the speed limit on the Ohio Turnpike?+
70 mph for all vehicles, including commercial trucks. The mainline speed limit was raised from 65 mph to 70 mph in April 2011. The limit drops to 10 mph at toll plazas and 65 mph through some construction zones. Service plaza access ramps post their own lower limits.
