Federal Judge Rules In Favor Of Pennsylvania Turnpike In Lawsuit Over Toll Increases

A federal judge is dismissing a lawsuit over Pennsylvania Turnpike toll increases that are financing payments the commission makes to help fund transit agencies. U.S. District Judge Yvette Kane ruled Thursday that a truckers’ organization didn’t adequately argue that the scheme violates constitutional protections over commerce and travel between states. The lawsuit had also asked the court to bar the turnpike commission from using tolls to pay off debt stemming from the payments.
