At the Pa. Turnpike Commission, layoffs and other big business largely decided behind closed doors Jonathan D. Silver, The Philadelphia Inquirer © YONG KIM/The Philadelphia Inquirer/TNS A car exits the Pennsylvania Turnpike at the Valley Forge interchange 326 last June. On June 2, the Pennsylvania Turnpike commissioners gathered behind closed doors for a meeting that was about to dramatically change the lives of their workers. Other than a brief public statement that they had talked about “modifications to staffing levels and benefits,” there was little hint of what was to unfold. When the commissioners finally appeared before an online audience, they rolled through a series of votes on issues that included a half-million dollars in purchases, a six-figure contract, and the staffing matter.

PA Turnpike Toll Increases — and Big Charge for Not Using EZ-Pass — In Effect Sunday

“This balanced approach allows us to maintain a lower rate for those choosing a payment method that is less costly to administer, while those who choose a pricier payment option absorb those costs,” Mark Compton, the commission’s chief executive officer, said in a statement this week. Such drivers previously paid the same rate as cash users, but cash payments were suspended amid the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to reduce contact between drivers and toll workers. The commission decided in May to keep the cashless system and laid off about 500 people, mostly toll collectors. Six toll locations won’t see the 45% jump as they served as cashless system pilots and the increases were already in place: Delaware River Bridge at the New Jersey border, Gateway Toll Plaza at the Ohio border, Beaver Valley Expressway on I-376, Greensburg Bypass, Findlay Connector, and Clarks Summit on I-476/Northeastern Extension.

Pennsylvania Turnpike toll hikes go into effect Sunday

Pennsylvania Turnpike toll hikes go into effect Sunday Published  Some tolls will jump as much as 45%. HARRISBURG - Toll increases go into effect on the Pennsylvania Turnpike this weekend, along with a hefty surcharge on drivers who don’t use EZ-Pass, officials are reminding motorists. The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission in July approved a 6% increase to begin Sunday for EZ-Pass 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, and the registered owner then receives an invoice for trips made through the tolling point. Officials said those receiving a Toll by Plate invoice have the option of opening an E-ZPass account and paying the lower rate.
