Higher Pa. Turnpike Tolls Start Today
Drivers on the Pennsylvania Turnpike will have to pay higher tolls in 2013
Pennsylvania Turnpike tolls will be higher this year as the result of an increase approved by the turnpike commission:
- 10 percent more for cash customers
- 2 percent more for E-Z Pass customers
- New rates start January 6
The last time tolls went up was January 2011.
The commission says the change will hike toll revenue 3 percent to fulfill a $450 million funding obligation to the state.
