E-ZPass is an electronic toll collection system that allows users to drive through E-ZPass lanes without stopping to pay tolls. Drivers enroll in a state user plan, such as West Virginia’s. These plans collect tolls either in advance upon enrollment or as needed by using a credit or debit card that is registered at enrollment.

West Virginia residents who enroll in the Single Fee Discount Plan will have use of E-ZPass Lanes on the West Virginia Turnpike. Additionally, users can use their credit or debit card to arrange payment for toll facilities in 16 other states that accept E-ZPass.

A transponder is a device that receives and sends a radio signal. With E-ZPass, a driver keeps a transponder on their windshield and it sends a signal to the electronic receiver in the E-ZPass lane of the toll booth. So, rather than stopping to pay a toll with cash, the E-ZPass user can drive slowly through the designated lane. A traffic light will cue the driver with a green light that their E-ZPass was used and the driver can drive onward. The driver never has to stop or interact with toll collectors.

Unfortunately, there are no refunds. After a West Virginia resident enrolls in the Single Fee Discount Plan, he or she cannot receive a refund of their enrollment fee. Any balance remaining in their prepaid deposit will be refunded upon termination.

Enrollment in the Single Fee Discount Plan for E-ZPass only takes a few minutes at this website. However, you can only use E-ZPass with the transponder, which you must pick up in person or have delivered to you by U.S. Mail.

Transponders can only be picked up at the West Virginia Parkways Authority office in Charleston, at 3310 Piedmont Road, during office hours, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM Eastern Time.

Transponders sent in the mail require up to ten days for delivery.

Those who enroll in the Single Fee Discount Plan will have unlimited use of the West Virginia Turnpike for three years, beginning on the date of activation before December 31, 2018 and ending December 31, 2021.

Yes, you can use the same E-ZPass transponder in other states that also employ E-ZPass for their toll roads and bridges. However, the Single Fee Discount Plan only applies to the West Virginia Turnpike.

To use the West Virginia E-ZPass in other states you must establish a prepaid toll balance by linking a credit or debit card or bank account to your E-ZPass account. You may add a prepaid toll balance when creating your account at www.wvturnpike.com or by contacting our Customer Service Center at 1-800-206-6222.

The Single Fee Discount Plan is only valid on Toll Class 1 vehicles, which are 7'6" or less in height, not more than 8,000 lbs., no more than two axles, and not used for commercial or business purposes. Therefore, the Single Fee Discount Plan is not valid when drivers are towing or for motor homes.

However, by establishing a prepaid toll balance on your account, West Virginia E-ZPass customers of the Single Fee Discount Plan can use their West Virginia E-ZPass transponder on the West Virginia Turnpike when towing and receive a 35% discount off the cash rate.

If a prepaid toll balance has not been established on the account, the driver must stop and pay the cash rate at each toll plaza.

There are three mainline toll plazas and they are located at mile markers 30, 57, and 82.

When you enroll with West Virginia’s E-ZPass Plans, you will create an account that is linked to the credit or debit card you select to use.

This enrollment will allow you to use E-ZPass in other states if you choose to allow your plan to access your card. If you elect to pay the one-time only fee of $24 in the Single Fee Discount Plan, your E-ZPass will only be able to access basic privileges on the West Virginia Turnpike, and you will be responsible for cash payment of other tolls incurred for motor home or trailers, or travel on toll facilities in other states.

Commercial traffic is considered to be all trucks that are 2-axles or more and over 7’6” in height. West Virginia offers a separate plan for commercial traffic, whether based inside or outside the state.

We currently accept MasterCard, VISA, Discover, and American Express.

Yes, we do offer manual replenishment for commercial accounts, but it is not recommended.

In addition to receiving a discount, we recommend equipping each commercial vehicle that uses the West Virginia Parkways with a transponder because it will help speed commercial traffic through toll plazas while giving drivers a more convenient way to pay tolls without stopping.

Yes, you may transfer transponders to different vehicles, as long as they are of the same vehicle class. You should notify us of the changes in your vehicle’s registration information, so that we can identify vehicles whose transponders are not working properly, and other similar situations.

West Virginia E-ZPass® commercial accounts must be prepaid. Commercial customers can prepay their accounts via credit card, ACH, check and cash paid in person at the Customer Service Center.

Monthly statements will display all E-ZPass® transaction information such as date, time, plaza, toll charges and vehicle classification for all E-ZPass® toll facilities used.

A toll violation occurs when a vehicle is recorded by the West Virginia Parkways Authority for failure to pay the specified toll using cash or an E-ZPass® account, or when the driver receives an Unpaid Toll Slip from a collector and does not pay within the 15 days allowed. The registered owner of the vehicle is mailed a Toll Violation Notice for the tolls and fees due.

For your convenience, there are several ways you can pay a Toll Violation Notice: If you wish to pay by credit card, you may contact our Customer Service Center by calling 1-800-206-6222 or you can click here to go online. Otherwise you can make a check or money order payable to West Virginia Parkways Authority and mail it along with the completed portion of your Toll Violation Notice to West Virginia Parkways Authority, Customer Service Center, P.O. Box 1469, Charleston WV 25325.

To appeal the violation notice, you may contact our Customer Service Center at 1-800-206-6222 and a representative can advise what information you will need to submit based upon your dispute request.

You will receive a letter in the mail indicating that your appeal has been accepted or rejected. If your appeal is rejected, the letter will offer an explanation.

If you wish to appeal multiple violation notices, enter the first notice number, appeal it and repeat the process for each violation.

If you are an E-ZPass® Customer and have received a violation notice(s), please consider the following to assist in preventing additional violation notices. If you do not receive confirmation that your E-ZPass® transponder was read in the lane, it is possible that your transponder is not working properly. The reason for this could be:

• Your vehicle windshield blocks the transponder requiring you to use an external transponder.
• The transponder is not mounted properly.
• The transponder has been reported lost or stolen.
• Your E-ZPass® account is in insufficient funds status.
• The transponder is malfunctioning.
• The license plate of the vehicle is not listed on your E-ZPass® account and no transponder was detected during the transaction.
• Your Personal E-ZPass® discount plan is expired or not valid at the plaza. If you need further help, please contact your Customer Service Center. Usually the phone number to contact your service center can be found on your transponder. If you are a West Virginia E-ZPass® customer, please contact the West Virginia E-ZPass® Customer Service Center at 1-800-206-6222 for assistance.

If you received a violation from a toll authority other than the West Virginia Parkways Authority, you must follow the procedure described on the violation notice. Unfortunately, West Virginia E-ZPass® cannot resolve the violation from another toll authority. If you are a West Virginia E-ZPass® customer in good standing, you may appeal your violation. In most cases, the toll authority will ask for proof that you are a West Virginia E-ZPass® customer and that your account is in good standing (an account in good standing has a positive balance.)
