The majority of the states in the United States - 38 of them - have toll roads, toll bridges, express lanes or other toll facilities. As the United States is transitioning to electronic payments, you can pay tolls on most toll roads using a transponder.

Most of the toll facilities are on the east coast. Florida has the most number of toll roads, followed by Oklahoma, New York and Pennsylvania. The most expensive toll road in the US (and in the world) is the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

How do tolls work in the USA

There are three types of tolling systems in the US:

1. Barrier system or Open System: Every time you pass through the mainline toll booth or ramp toll plaza, you pay a fixed time-based toll.
   
   
2. Ticket system or Closed System: Similar to traveling on a subway, you pay a toll based on your entry toll gantry and exit toll gantry combination. New York State Thruway, New Jersey Turnpike, Kansas Turnpike and other toll roads are ticket systems or closed systems.
   
   
3. Distance-based system: You pay a toll for the distance travelled on the designated toll road.
   

On electronic toll collection (ETC) systems, when you cross an electronic toll pass plaza without a valid toll pass, it is counted as a toll violation. Cameras near toll booths register your license plates and send a bill to the vehicle owner via the Video toll or Pay-By-Bill system.

The US toll system is fragmented. Over 90 tolling agencies, 12 interoperable groups and 20 tolling brands are active. Click on state names to see state-specific tolling details:

How to pay toll in the US

There are multiple ways to pay tolls. You can pay by:

• transponder (primary, secondary)
• cash
• license plate or video
• credit card
• prepaid card

If you have a choice, buy a transponder. It offers the most discounts. The E-ZPass network on the east coast, SunPass network in Florida, TxTag in Texas and FasTrak in California are some of the major toll passes. Refer to the list of all the toll passes and their states for more information.

Can I pay US tolls with a credit card

Yes, but not on most toll facilities. You can recharge your toll tag or transponder using a credit card. You can also pay the missed toll later using a credit or debit card.
