SH-351/Muskogee Turnpike transitions to full cashless tolling

As of August 29, the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority has converted SH-351/Muskogee Turnpike to PlatePay (cashless tolling). This means motorists can now travel completely cashless via PIKEPASS and PlatePay with increased safety and convenience between Tulsa and I-40 near Webbers Falls. PlatePay helps create a free flow of traffic and eliminates sudden speed changes when motorists maneuver lanes to stop at a toll booth and then reenter high-speed traffic. Eliminating these conflict points significantly increases safety on Oklahoma's turnpike system, which saw more than 500 crashes at tolling booths in the past six years systemwide. This change also offers customers the ability to conveniently pay their tolls online and never be distracted by looking for cash while driving.
