Pennsylvania Turnpike officials are reminding drivers that toll
increases went into effect this weekend, along with a hefty surcharge on non- E-ZPass users.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission in July approved a 6%
increase to begin Sunday for E-ZPass users, as well for those without
passes in the “Toll by Plate” program.
They also approved a 45%
surcharge on people whose tolls are assessed by mail based on their license
plates.
Under the Toll by Plate
option, high-speed cameras capture license-plate images as vehicles pass by.
The registered owner then
receives an invoice for trips made through the tolling point.
