 The West Virginia Turnpike is a member of the E-ZPass electronic toll collection consortium, allowing members to attach a transponder to their windshield and pay electronically.The Parkways Authority briefly raised toll rates on January 1, 2006, but a state judge found the hike to be illegal, rescinding it a few days later.The state legislature subsequently affirmed the judge's decision, and removed the Commission's power to set rates, reserving that power to itself.
