Second Phase of Pikepass Against Ok Turnpike Authority Suit Settled

Summary

---

The second phase of a multimillion-dollar lawsuit filed against the state Turnpike Authority for alleged overcharges in PikePass billing has been resolved to the benefit of several large trucking fleet companies, authorities said.

The first phase of the class-action lawsuit that was resolved late last year awarded an $11 credit to each account holder of PikePass cards. The lawsuit, filed in 2002 in Oklahoma County District Court, claimed that customers were over-billed as early as 1997 because of incorrect readings by the electronic toll- collection system. A PikePass is a prepaid account that automatically deducts tolls as a customer enters or exits at certain points on the state's 10 toll roads. When the PikePass system failed to electronically read a driver's account card at checkpoints on a toll road, the program would automatically charge the maximum possible toll, sometimes referred to as a system match or forced match.
