Starting on Sunday, just after midnight, The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) ) reminds drivers that toll increases announced earlier this year are set to take effect.

Back in July, the PTC approved a 6 percent toll increase for all E-ZPass rates systemwide and for the PA Turnpike TOLL BY PLATE rates that had been established before the March 2020 conversion to All-Electronic Tolling (AET).

These are the 6 locations that will see the increase:


Beaver Valley Expressway (I-376)

Delaware River Bridge (New
Jersey border)

Gateway Toll Plaza (Ohio border)

Greensburg Bypass (PA Turnpike 66)

Keyser Avenue and Clarks Summit Tolls (I-476/Northeastern Extension)

Findlay Connector (PA Turnpike
576/Southern Beltway)

The toll increases result from the PA Turnpike's annual transit payments of $450 million to PennDOT as mandated by Acts 44 of 2007 and 89 of 2013.

Since 2007, the Commission has transferred $7 billion in funding to PennDOT.
These new rates, which also take effect Jan. 3, include the 6% increase along with an additional 45% increase over the 2020 cash rate for TOLL BY PLATE motorists.

"The new TOLL BY PLATE rates offset the higher costs the Commission incurs to process the toll, mail the invoices and collect payment - a pricing approach used by tolling agencies across the nation to cover the cost of administering AET systems," PTC CEO Mark Compton explained. "This balanced approach allows us to maintain a lower rate for those choosing a payment method that is less costly to administer, while those who choose a pricier payment option absorb those costs."
