What happens if I drive the Ohio Turnpike without a transponder?
If you enter the Ohio Turnpike without an E-ZPass, you can pay cash at staffed toll booths on exit. If you use an unmanned lane without a transponder, your license plate is photographed and a bill is mailed to the registered vehicle owner at the cash rate. Avoid unpaid tolls as violations result in additional fees.

The Ohio Turnpike has 7 vehicle classes. Class 2 (passenger cars, pickups, SUVs, vans) pays the lowest rate. Classes 3 through 7 cover increasingly larger commercial vehicles and buses.
