kscarbel2 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Commercial Carrier Journal (CCJ) / July 21, 2017 For the 10th consecutive year, trucking companies will see increased fees on the Pennsylvania Turnpike in 2018. The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) approved a 6 percent increase for both E-ZPass and cash customers, which will take effect Jan. 7, 2018. The increase will see the most common toll for a Class 8 truck increase from $23.60 to $25.01 for E-ZPass and from $33.10 to $35.08 for cash. The annual increases of 3 to 6 percent are expected to continue for the Turnpike through 2044, according to PTC Chairman Sean Logan in 2015. According to a statement from the turnpike authority, such increases are required to meet the PTC’s various funding obligations, which include supporting PennDOT’s improvements along the 550-mile toll-road system.
