Ah yes, more money to drive our beautiful state, and somehow there are still potholes. Ha.

As an example of the increase, a motorist with E-ZPass traveling in a typical two-axle vehicle, such as a car or SUV, from Norristown to Fort Washington would pay $1.80, up from $1.70. A motorist captured on camera would be billed $4.40, up from $4.10.

A motorist driving across the state from, say, Valley Forge to Pittsburgh, would pay $34.70, up from $33.

Motorists traveling the Pennsylvania Turnpike will not only pay 5% more in tolls starting Sunday, Jan. 8, but will face more aggressive enforcement if they fail to pay.
