Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS PLATEPAY?
The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority is in the process of converting all 12 turnpikes to cashless tolling through its PlatePay program. Modernizing the system by providing all motorists the opportunity to pay at their convenience is a must for safety and efficient operations. Ten turnpikes are now cashless and the two remaining turnpikes – the Will Rogers and Indian Nation turnpikes – are anticipated to convert to open road tolling by the end of 2024 with work already underway.
HOW DO I PAY MY TOLL IF I NORMALLY PAY CASH?
OTA will send you an invoice in the mail for trips through our PlatePay system. The invoice will detail how to pay your toll. For an example of the PlatePay invoice, click here.

DO THE CAMERAS TAKE PHOTOS OF PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE?
No. The camera system associated with PlatePay only takes a photo of the license plate and does not take pictures of the interior of the vehicle.
WHAT IF I RECEIVE A PLATEPAY INVOICE FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT MINE?
If you recently sold a vehicle and received a PlatePay invoice, please login to the Pay My Invoice or Search by License Plate area and look for the Affidavit of Non-Liability or call our Customer Service line at 1-800-PIKEPASS (1-800-745-3727).
AM I DOUBLE-BILLED IF MY PIKEPASS IS READ AND THE CAMERA TAKES A PICTURE OF MY LICENSE PLATE?
