In an effort to keep the Pennsylvania Turnpike system under public control, in June 2007, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) proposed tolling I-80 as a means of raising transportation revenue. It sought the permission to put tolls on the highway through a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) pilot program that allowed three states to place tolls on Interstates. Missouri and Virginia had already taken two of the spots. Under the plan, the PTC would assume all maintenance and toll-taking operations on I-80. The plan called for up to ten toll plazas along the length of I-80 in Pennsylvania with a toll rate of , which would have been comparable to the rate on the Pennsylvania Turnpike following a projected toll increase. Currently, the only toll on I-80 in Pennsylvania is the westbound toll at the Delaware Water Gap Toll Bridge between Pennsylvania and New Jersey. On October 15, 2007, the lease for the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission to toll I-80 was signed, and tolls were to be implemented by 2010.
