Pennsylvania Turnpike toll to increase on Jan. 6, 2019

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission has approved a 6 percent toll increase for 2019 both for E-ZPass and cash customers.

The increase is set to start 12:01 a.m. Jan. 6, 2019.

The toll increase will apply to all Pa. Turnpike sections and extensions, including the westbound Delaware River Bridge cashless tolling point in Bucks County, where tolls have not changed since January 2016.

The most-common toll for a passenger vehicle will increase from $1.30 to $1.38 for E-ZPass customers and from $2.10 to $2.25 for cash customers.

The cashless toll at the westbound Delaware River Bridge will increase from $5 to $5.30 for E-ZPass customers and from $6.75 to $7.20 for those who use Pa. Turnpike TOLL BY PLATE.

The most common toll for a Class-5 tractor-trailer truck will increase from $3.45 to $3.66 for E-ZPass and from $15.35 to $16.30 for cash.

The 2019 toll increase is required to meet the Pa. Turnpike Commission’s funding obligations as well as maintain and improve the 552-mile Pa. Turnpike system.

The Pa. Turnpike Commission has thus far reconstructed more than 132 miles of its system, with another 19 miles of roadway now being rebuilt and widened and more than 82 miles currently in planning and design phases.

The commission does not receive tax appropriations to operate and maintain its roadway.

A 2019 trip calculator and toll schedule is posted online.
