OK Turnpike tolls set to rise again for cash customers

Hopefully they'll spend some or all of it on the Cimarron bouncepike.

They have milled some of it. Hopefully they will do more, or coat it in asphalt. It's rough.

I really really really need to get a couple pikepasses. When I hit a booth with my stock trailer, 5 axles hurt the pocket book. Plus all the starting and stopping wear and tear. I wil try to remember to make the call tomorrow. It costs me like $20.50 to go from Inola to Siloam Springs and back. I sure don't need an increase.

Pikepass is good for Kansas and Texas as well. You don't need to buy passes in those states.

Oh and maybe some of y'all can tell me why the hell we needed the extra lanes and allllllll the daggum lights west of Tulsa on 44. I dealt with those miles of construction for a while on my Monday runs to Holdenville and couldn't figure out why that area needed lights and more lanes.

Kansas has tolls on I35, not sure on New Mex and Colorado.

Colorado does, at least in Denver for sure. It's over 20 bucks to pay cash (at least I got to expense it).

Yeah I can't keep drinks in the cup holders, front or back seats. Worse when I've got a goose neck attached.

You can open a PikePass account online via https://www.pikepass.com/. They'll mail you the PikePass.

Interesting that the PikePass is now interoperable with all Texas toll systems--they have about 20 of them, and back in January, they weren't all interoperable...

Correct. The northern part of TX was compatible with the Ok pikepass system when we went to South Tx in January. During our visit until March they included the southern half of Tx finally.
They would rip you on the price if you don't have a pike pass with "mailing fees", and it was per gate, not per day. Between McAllen and South Padre, there were 5 gates.

How long have the tolls been going on and how long was it supposed to last?
