Overview
- The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission approved a 3.5% toll increase that will take effect on Jan. 3, 2027 and raise costs for drivers across the corridor.
- The per-mile toll will move from $0.073 to $0.075 and the segment fee will rise from $1.13 to $1.17 according to the commission's published rate changes.
- This marks the 19th consecutive year of toll increases and is the smallest annual raise the commission has enacted since 2014.
- Commission officials attribute the hikes to Act 44 of 2007, later amended by Act 89 in 2013, which requires the turnpike to use toll revenue to help fund statewide ground transportation.
- Motorists can use the turnpike's online toll calculator to estimate personal costs and reduce tolls by signing up for E‑ZPass, which the commission says saves about half compared with license-plate billing.
