“Since 2009, the PTC has increased tolls annually to make good on a funding obligation required by a 2007 state law known as Act 44,” said PA Turnpike CEO Mark Compton. “Under that law, the commission has delivered $6.1 billion in toll-backed funding to PennDOT in the last 11 years.”
The new toll prices will go into effect Jan. 6, 2019, and an updated trip calculator will be available later this summer.
Channel 11's Erin Clarke is working to learn more about why the tolls have been raised annually for the past 10 years - for Channel 11 News, starting at 5 p.m.
