Original review posted by user Jun 20, 2016

I'm from the KCMO area and we were on vacation in Pennsylvania. 3 weeks after returning I received a violation notice for 59.30 for allegedly going through an EZ Pass lane without an account.

A very good shot of our car was on the notice. I called and talked to a PA Turnpike representative and found out that I HAD, in fact, gone through the CASH/EZPass lane. They have NO cash only lanes - 2 EZPass lanes and 3 CASH/EZPass lanes. They also indicated that I had stopped at the toll booth.

The representative said she would call me back. No one has called back.We paid our toll of $5.55. I have 2 witnesses. This is robbery, theft!

Do they target out of state vehicles to generate extra revenue?

This is wrong!!! What is our legal recourse?

Reason of review: false toll violation.

Monetary Loss: $59.

Preferred solution: Rescind violation..

Pa Turnpike Cons: Being falsely accused.

Location: Smithville, Missouri

They do the same to in-state vehicles. I don't think they have any oversight over mistakes or scams by toll operators. Learning the hard way to demand a receipt and take a cellphone snap of the green light before exiting.

While it took the 3rd representative to believe me and NOT accuse me of going through the EZPass ONLY lane, the matter was resolved.I did have to provide them the location of where I got on, and, using the online calculator, the exact toll amount.

Evidently I went through at the time where the attendant likely went on break just after we went through and made it a EZPass ONLY lane.

For those interested: the lane you went through is recorded on your violation but they also know what that lane was designated as.

They also know the exit speed of your vehicle.Mine was 11mph which indicates a stop.
