The Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission is giving motorists time to get used to the turnpike's new toll system.COLUMBUS, Ohio—The Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission announced Tuesday it is suspending late fees, the transfer of unpaid tolls to collection agencies, and the placing of blocks on motor-vehicle registrations through mid-October to give drivers time to adjust to the highway’s new tolling system.
A turnpike analysis showed that many drivers were mailed a bill because their EZPass transponder wasn’t mounted properly in their vehicle, they didn’t pull a ticket when driving onto the turnpike, or they drove through an open-road tolling lane without having a transponder. Violators are charged the maximum fare, based on where they got on the turnpike .
“We want to allow time for customers to adjust to the new system,” Ginley said in an interview about the grace period. “We’re hearing their pains – their growing pains, I guess you could say.”
