How Tolls Work in Maine

Maine’s toll roads consist solely of the Maine Turnpike, a lengthy portion of I-95 that connects much of the state. Toll amounts are based on vehicle class and where you enter and exit the Turnpike. They can be paid using cash, E-ZPass, or a Budget e-toll service. Maine does not operate a “Pay by plate” toll option. (Source)

Payments to toll roads in Maine are used to maintain and improve the Turnpike, benefiting tourists and locals alike. (Source)
