(Harrisburg, Pa.) New legislation is being introduced that would require the Pa Turnpike Commission to alert EZ-Pass account holder’s within 24 hours by email if their transponder does not properly read as they passed through an E-ZPass Toll location is being introduced.
The email must explain why the driver is receiving a V-toll and provide solutions to fix the issue with the transponder.
Under the proposed legislation, the Commission may charge a fee for the toll if the email provided by the account holder is invalid.
The legislation is aimed at increasing transparency for E-ZPass holders and to save them from paying unexpected fees when they go through toll booths.
State leaders say last year, thousands of Pennsylvanians were charged V-tolls, or $10 fees, totaling millions of dollars.
If the legislation passes, it will go into effect in 60 days.
