Ten months after announcing the construction of six bond-financed projects, the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority will consider a measure to increase toll rates.

An item on the board’s Tuesday meeting agenda calls for it to consider “establishing a time schedule for adoption of new toll rates.”

OTA spokesman Jack Damrill declined to release any figures related to the proposed toll hike until the board considers the issue on Tuesday.

“The board will take up a resolution to establish some type of time schedule for a toll increase,” Damrill said. “I can’t say much more about it right now because they are still looking into things on it.”

While the board will likely vote Tuesday on a toll increase, it may not take effect until next year, Damrill said.

“At this point we’re not really willing to release what the increases are going to be because it could change between now and Tuesday,” Damrill said.

Currently, a trip from Tulsa to Oklahoma City on the Turner Turnpike, the biggest revenue generator for the authority, costs $4 for a two-axle vehicle and $3.90 for two-axle vehicles with a Pikepass.
