(Harrisburg, Pa.) The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission is cracking down on people who owe tolls. The Turnpike Commission and State Police conducted a joint toll enforcement initiative in April, resulting in more than 200 traffic stops. Enforcement teams recorded a single day with 23 stops, collecting more than $48,000 in unpaid tolls from those drivers. The initiative also presented the opportunity to collect over $130,000 in additional past-due balances. More than 90% of drivers who were pulled over took action to pay outstanding balances or comply with regulations.

The collaboration was aimed to hold toll evaders accountable and enforce compliance on Pennsylvania roadways, the turnpike commission said.
