PikePass

Pikepass is the electronic toll collection system used by the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority. Created in 1990 and launched on January 1 1991, Pikepass provides a faster and cheaper alternative in paying cash tolls. The Turnpike Authority also saves millions with the system.cite web | date=1990-11-17 | url=http://tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?articleID=175361| title=Toll Booths Going High-Tech| publisher=Tulsa World | author=Janet Pearson | accessdate=2007-06-14] Most customers pay an initial $40 in prepaid tolls, which they can refill at their own convenience or have funds automatically withdrawn to replenish the account if it falls below $10-15. Pikepass usage results in a 5% savings up front and customers with 20 or more uses of the Pikepass receive a credit of 5% of their toll charges for that month. The Pikepass device has been tested by the manufacturer to accurately record toll usage at speeds up to 123 miles per hour.
