(Harrisburg, PA) The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission approved toll increases at a meeting on Tuesday.

Commissioners of the organization approved a toll increase of 3.5% across the Turnpike System and it is set to go into effect on January 3rd, 2027.

The only exception for the increase is for a section of the Mon-Fayette Expressway.

November is when the 2027 toll rate becomes effective and that is when that stretch of roadway opens. 

According to the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, this is the lowest increase since 2014, which aligns with their plan that was created in 2007.
