What is a Pennsylvania Turnpike Toll Bond?

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission requires any persons applying to open an E-ZPass account to secure a surety bond if the account holder obtains an annual turnpike usage of $5,000.

 

The Turnpike Toll Bond is used as an extension of credit for the use of the Pennsylvania Turnpike System guaranteeing that the Commission will receive payment in the event the account holder defaults on payment of its invoice.

 

The bond ensures that the account holders pay the full amount within thirty days of the invoice’s postmarked date.

 

The Pennsylvania Turnpike System is a controlled-access toll road operated by the Commission, where it starts at the Ohio state line and ends at the New Jersey border.

 

What is the bond amount?

The bond amount is determined by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission.

 

If you have a stellar credit score, you will be eligible for a low bond premium. The bond cost is a percentage of the bond amount, usually ranging between 1% and 5%.
