Our mission to operate and maintain a userfee supported highway with sound financial management that provides motorists and travelers with safe, modern and helpful services. t has been said that the greatest invention in history is the wheel. If so, then todays modern superhighways are surely one of humankinds greatest achievements. The Ohio Turnpike is a modern revival of an ancient form of transportation. Toll roads go back to Roman times. In the early days of the United States, the U.S. Congress authorized a national toll road to be carved out of the wilderness. In time, the new road came through Ohio, thus easing travel for horsemen, buggies and Conestoga wagons on their way west. A toll of two cents per every 10 miles was charged for horses. Additional tolls were charged for conveyances, depending on their expected wearandtear on the roadway.
