Please join the Susquehanna Section for a presentation about the Pennsylvania Turnpike's E-ZPass & All-Electronic Tolling System.

The presentation will provide a brief overview of the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission and its extensive transportation network along with the evolution of their toll collection systems from traditional cash collection to mixed-mode (cash & E-ZPass) to the state of the art, All Electronic Tolling. The presentation will provide insight to the overall toll industry’s trend toward electronic tolling, weighing the pros & cons of such an approach. The presentation will then focus on the various in-lane and back-office technologies and systems necessary to enable All Electronic Tolling. As the presentation concludes, information on the E-ZPass network, AET in the Northeast region and AET nationally will be presented followed by some future technologies currently being explored in the tolling industry such as National Interoperability, smart phone Apps, and GPS tolling.
