Oklahoma Turnpike prices to increase in 2025

MIAMI, Okla. — Drivers will have to pay more to travel Oklahoma turnpikes in 2025.

Rate increases by a statewide average of 15% were unanimously approved by the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority. The reason: Higher inflation rates and the current cost associated to run the “Access Oklahoma” program, designed to improve Oklahoma’s turnpike system.

In 2021, the program was projected to cost around $5 billion. Today, that price tag is around $8.2 billion.

Beginning January 1, a trip on the Will Rogers Turnpike for Pikepass users will be $4.92.

OTA officials expect an additional 6% increase in toll prices every two years, in order to address future inflation rates.
