Welcome to the No Toll on Interstate 80 Website

In July, Governor Ed Rendell approved legislation creating Act 44 and authorizing the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission to collect tolls on the portion of Interstate 80 that travels through Pennsylvania. With only one month between the time the legislation was introduced and then signed into law, there were no public hearings nor any other opportunity for those who would be most affected by the tolls to comment. In the months since Act 44 was created, business leaders, government officials and private citizens have spoken out about the effect tolling Interstate 80 will have on Pennsylvania's economy.

Because it is part of the Federal Highway System, built with federal funds to facilitate interstate commerce and national defense, federal approval is needed before Interstate 80 can become a toll road. The Turnpike Commission has submitted an Expression of Interest to the United States Department of Transportation, but has not yet received the necessary approval to begin instituting tolls.
