Oklahoma Turnpike Authority moves step closer to cashless tolling operations
The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority (OTA) has selected a supplier to provide technologies and services to support the state’s PlatePay cashless tolling system.
Conduent Transportation will retrieve registration ownership data for vehicles, enabling invoices to be sent to motorists who travel through tolls without a PikePass transponder. The contract builds on the company’s current OTA relationship identifying license plate information for processing.
The solutions support OTA’s move to all-electronic, cashless tolling operations on its turnpikes, eliminating the need for vehicles to slow or stop at toll plazas.
By the end of 2024, the OTA plans to convert its entire system to cashless, in an effort to provide greater convenience and improved fuel efficiency for drivers while reducing emissions and congestion.
