The Turnpike is already a bit expensive, but on January 5, 2020, the tolls are scheduled to increase by 6%. The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission in July approved the toll increase for 2020 for both E-ZPass and cash customers. It’s the 12th year in a row that there has been a toll increase on the Turnpike.
The cause of the tolls increasing is due ‘to meet escalating debt-service costs associated with the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission’s annual Act 44/Act 89 contributions to the Commonwealth of PA for transit operations and funding for its 10-year capital program, the commission’ said in a statement upon approving the increase.
As of right now, passenger cars who pay cash at the tolls will jump from $2.30 to $2.50 and those with E-ZPass will jump from $1.40 to $1.50.
