Gilcrease Expressway West and Southwest Kilpatrick Turnpike Extensions

The OTA has envisioned the Gilcrease Expressway West and Southwest Kilpatrick Turnpike extensions as future additions to the turnpike system. The Gilcrease Expressway West, a proposed 5-mile extension in Tulsa, will connect the I-44 junction with the L.L. Tisdale Parkway.

On the other hand, the Southwest Kilpatrick Turnpike, a proposed 7.5-mile extension in Oklahoma City, will link the I-40/US-270 junction with State Highway 152 (SH-152) in southwest Oklahoma City.

How are tolls calculated for trucks in Oklahoma

Trucks with additional axles incur higher toll charges than passenger cars. The OTA collects tolls for trucks electronically through the PikePass system, promoting a streamlined payment process. Trucks without a PikePass will be subject to higher toll rates, encouraging the adoption of this convenient electronic toll payment method.

Class of Vehicle	Number of Axles
Class 2	Two
Class 3	Three
Class 4	Four
Class 5	Five
Class 6	Six

How to figure out the number of axles for your truck

Look at the truck and its trailer from the side. Count one axle for each wheel you see (a double wheel counts as a single wheel). You must also count the steering axle, auxiliary lift axle and removable axle.

How to pay missed toll on Oklahoma Turnpike

If you could not pay toll while crossing the gantry or booth, it will be counted as a toll violation which needs to be paid later. Learn about the various ways to pay missed tolls in Oklahoma.

What is PikePass

PikePass or PPass is an electronic tag that you can install in your vehicle to pay tolls on Oklahoma turnpikes. You need not stop to pay tolls; it'll automatically deduct relevant charges from the linked account when the vehicle crosses the electronic gantry. The PikePass is cheaper: average 5% less than cash rate tolls. Refer to the PikPass tag to get information about how to use it, where it works and more.

Is the Oklahoma Turnpike cash only

The OTA plans to complete the transition to fully cashless tolling across all turnpikes by the end of 2024. This transition aims to eliminate cash toll payments at toll plazas, simplifying the process for drivers. Instead, travelers will need to use the PikePass transponder system or PlatePay for their toll payments.

How to get a PIKEPASS online

You will need the following to open an account online:

• Driver's License
Initial Payment must be paid by Credit / Debit card
• License Plate or VIN Number, State, Year, Make & Model for each vehicle
