Turnpike rates going up in the new year

The new year will soon be here, and with it, higher tolls on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

PENNSYLVANIA, USA — If you plan on staying in the Keystone State until after the new year, there's a heads-up to drivers.

Turnpike tolls will increase by 5 percent starting in the new year.

That brings the standard rate from $1.70 to $1.80 for folks with easy-pass, and from $4.10 to $4.40 for toll-by-plate customers.

The Turnpike Commission says toll rates will continue to increase annually until 2050 as it makes payments to PennDOT.

The new rates take effect on January 8, 2022.
