Trucking News: Pennsylvania Turnpike announces 6% toll increase for 2020

[Mike]

On Tuesday, July 16, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission approved of the 6% increase in tolls, which is slated to begin at 12:01 a.m. on Jan. 5, 2020. The increase affects both E-ZPass and cash customers. This is the twelfth consecutive year of toll hikes on the turnpike.

Only three western highways are exempt from the 2020 increase: PA Turnpike 376, (Beaver Valley Expressway); PA Turnpike 66 (Greensburg Bypass or Amos K. Hutchinson Bypass); and the Gateway tolling point (milepost 2 near Ohio on I-76). These locations will have toll increases on Oct. 27, 2019, instead.

Holy Macaroni!
Forbes used to pay us a bonus for NOT using the PA Turnpike, it so expensive even back then.

I’m still baffled at some of them being cash only in the USA.

We always used to skip toll roads because they’d trip you up when you were scribbling your comic book.

I decided to start running the hell out of the turnpike so I can save money before the rates go up.
