Re: [MBZ] OT: Tolls in Oklahoma
Thanks Craig. Yes I have only used mine in NortheastNC. I resisted for a longtime but then RI put 4.00 tolls each way on Newport-Pell bridge but only .83 each way for residents with EZ Pass. Also nice for getting across Maine border in summer. Bypasses backup in toll lanes with separate no stop lane. I know cameras etc but... .

I looked it up and found, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-ZPass E‑ZPass is an electronic toll-collection system used on most tolled roads, bridges, and tunnels in the northeastern United States, south to North Carolina, and west to Illinois. Currently, there are 25 agencies spread across 14 states that make up the E‑ZPass Interagency Group (IAG).

Various independent systems that use the same technology have been integrated into the E‑ZPass system. These include I‑Pass in Illinois and NC Quick Pass in North Carolina. Other interoperable systems retained their own branding for some time, but have all since been rebranded simply as E-ZPass. So it seems, EZ Pass won't work in Oklahoma.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Tolls in Oklahoma
Tolls are only a buck or two for cars. Bring plenty of change; some of the booths are exact change only, no attendants.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Tolls in Oklahoma
We have Interstates and Turnpikes - the later require lots of quarters, dimes, and nickels. I-40 from NM through the TX panhandle is free. I-44 from OKC to Tulsa to the N.E. is the Turner Turnpike, and will cost about $4.00. I-44 is free through Tulsa, then becomes the Will Rogers Turnpike on the East side up to the N.E. corner at the AR border which will cost another $4.00.

We don't have any turnpike tolls in the DC area on essential highways. Congresspeople wouldn't allow it.
