At its bimonthly meeting Tuesday, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission approved a 6 percent toll increase for both E-ZPass and cash customers.
The toll increase — like previous increases since 2009 — is required to meet the turnpike commission’s various funding obligations.
These include providing funding to the PA Department of Transportation (PennDOT) to support public transportation statewide and improving the Turnpike’s own 550-mile toll-road system that is almost 77 years old in places.
The increase is set to take effect at 12:01 a.m. on Jan. 7, 2018.
