Tolls, tolls & more tolls

An 11-year streak of price hikes on the Pennsylvania Turnpike continues as of Jan. 6, 2019

The increase applies to both E-ZPass and cash tolls.
The most common toll will rise from $1.30 to $1.38 for E-ZPass and from $2.10 to $2.25 for cash. If you’re taking a longer trip, the difference really adds up.
To go across the state, starting at the Warrendale Toll Plaza and exiting at the Wyoming Valley Toll Plaza, it will cost E-ZPass holders $41.70 and $58.10 for those paying with cash, according to the toll schedule.
Tolls have increased every year since 2009. Turnpike officials say the annual hikes are needed to meet funding obligations, and for maintenance and improvements to the turnpike system.

The turnpike commission says it is legislatively mandated to offer $450 million in funding to PennDOT each year under the terms of Act 44, a state law enacted in 2007.
