HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission has approved a toll hike for next year.

The commission says the increase means rates will be going up 10% for cash-paying customers and 2% for those who pay with E-ZPass. The agency says the hike will result in a toll-revenue growth of 3%.

Chief Executive Officer Roger E. Nutt says in a statement that the increase will generate revenue needed to satisfy a $450 million funding obligation to the state.

Officials say that the increase means E-ZPass customers will now be saving 25%, which is up from the 17% savings they see now.

The new go rates into effect on Jan. 6.
