Officials said the increase is needed to meet escalating debt service costs and to maintain aging roads.
Officials said the most common toll for a passenger vehicle next year will increase from $1.40 to $1.50 for E-ZPass customers and from $2.30 to $2.50 for cash customers. The most common tractor-trailer toll will rise from $3.70 to $4.00 for E-ZPass and from $16.30 to $17.30 for cash.
Three western Pennsylvania highways will see increases Oct. 27.
