Last Updated: April 4, 10:00 a.m. EST

Many states and tolling authorities are implementing temporary measures to limit the impact of COVID-19.

• California. The Toll Roads in California have temporarily closed their customer-service walk-in center. Customer service is still available through their website or their app. In addition, tolls are suspended by Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA) on roads in northern California: I-580 Express Lanes, I-680 Express Lanes, and SR 237. This change is a result of a decline in traffic, and it frees patrol officers from Express Lane enforcement duties.
• Illinois. The Illinois Tollway has suspended cash payments and closed their in-person customer service centers until further notice. Tolls will be collected by I-PASS, E-ZPASS, or the Tollway’s online payment portal. Customers without a transponder are encouraged to visit the Tollway’s website to calculate missed tolls within seven days.
• New Jersey. Cash payments have been suspended on the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway. Tolls are being collected by EZ Pass and mail-by-plate system.
• Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission has suspended cash payments effective Monday, March 16, at 8 pm. All tolls will be collected electronically by using E-ZPASS or the PA Turnpike Toll By Plate program. Officials caution drivers that they should be prepared for confusion at toll plazas while drivers adjust to this change.
• Puerto Rico. AutoExpreso is closed until at least March 30. They will continue to charge for tolls in the meantime.
• Texas. The Harris County Toll Road Authority (HCTRA) is waiving all tolls until April 3. Please note that these toll waivers do not apply to toll roads operated by other tolling agencies in the area. The Regional Tolling Agencies map shows the Houston-area toll roads and corresponding operating agency.

ARI anticipates other tolling authorities to suspend cash payments and close service centers. We encourage drivers to visit the websites of their their local toll authority for the latest information.
