Aren’t tolls on the turnpike private? We should not be using tax payer resources to police collection. Maybe they should put people back in the booths at entrance points that scan their plates and deny entry if they have unpaid electronic tolls. Oh wait cuts into their profits to manage their own payments.

The turnpike commission is owned by the state.

No. The PA turnpike is not private.

Doh well I am a dodo bird so I rescind my rant. For whatever reason o thought PA Tpk was privately owned but yeah PTC is indeed run by the state. I am curious just how much of those violations are PA residents/plates versus out of state.

There have been rumbles about privatizing/selling/leasing it from time to time. It was a big topic of discussion during Rendell's administration in the 2000s.
