PA Turnpike Reminds Motorists of Weekend Toll Increase, 5% increase takes effect Sunday
Dauphin County, PA — The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) reminds drivers that a toll increase announced earlier this year is set to take effect just after midnight Sunday.
In July, the PTC approved a 5% toll increase for all E-ZPass and PA Turnpike Toll By Plate rates for the entire system except the Southern Beltway (PA Turnpike 576) west of Pittsburgh.
This is the first time in six years that the annual increase has been less than 6%.
Here are a few examples of rate changes customers will see this weekend:
- The most common toll for a passenger vehicle will increase from $1.60 to $1.70 for E-ZPass customers and from $3.90 to $4.10 for Toll By Plate customers.
- The most common toll for a Class-5 tractor trailer will increase from $13 to $13.70 for E-ZPass customers and from $26.60 to $28 for Toll By Plate customers.
- The passenger-vehicle toll at the westbound Delaware River Bridge will increase from $6.10 to $6.50 for E-ZPass customers and from $8.20 to $8.70 for Toll By Plate customers.
- E-ZPass drivers will continue to pay the lowest toll rates across the PA Turnpike, with some customers saving nearly 60%. To sign up for E-ZPass online or find a nearby E-ZPass retailer, click here.
All customers can now download the PTC’s PA Toll Pay smartphone app.
E-ZPass customers can easily manage and update their accounts with the app, and Toll By Plate customers can use it to create an autopay account and save 15% on invoices.
After the 2022 increase is applied, E-ZPass and Toll By Plates rates for both passenger and commercial vehicles will round up to the next dime.
