Turnpike Toll Hike Kicked in Jan. 1

A 10 percent increase for all cash customers went into effect Jan. 1.

According to the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, Pennsylvania Turnpike fares increased by 10 percent for all cash-paying customers on most of the state’s toll roads starting New Year's Day.

The increase does not apply to E-Z Pass users.

Under the new rate, a drive from Valley Forge to Pittsburgh will trigger a toll of $23.90.
