BEREA, Ohio — The Ohio Turnpike is offering toll collectors buyouts of up to $35,000 because the E-ZPass electronic payment system means fewer booth attendants are needed.
Executive Director George Distel outlined the buyout offer to turnpike commission members on Monday.
The turnpike hopes up to 40 of 287 full-time employees will accept the offer. Part-time collectors also will get offers.
The turnpike joined the E-ZPass system Oct. 1. E-ZPass automatically charges enrolled motorists through an onboard electronic transponder.
