(The Center Square) \u2013 A new report says drivers in Pennsylvania and its neighboring states pay the most tolls each year.<\/p>\n
Using federal data, law firm Beck & Beck calculated the amount of tolls paid per 1,000 miles traveled and found that Delaware ($41.12), New Jersey ($26.92), New York ($22.10), Pennsylvania ($18.68) and Maryland ($17.71), were the top five highest out 27 states with paid public roads.<\/p>\n
The firm calculated the figure by dividing 2023 federal data on total revenues for each state by total miles driven.<\/p>\n
Pennsylvania\u2019s toll revenues reached $1.87 billion that year, the fourth highest in the nation, with more than 100,126,000 miles driven.<\/p>\n
The data is unsurprising given the Pennsylvania Turnpike\u2019s consistent ranking as the most expensive toll road in the United States, costing drivers $113 to cross the state. New York\u2019s Whiteface Mountain Memorial Highway is a distant second at $28, according to Fleetworthy.<\/p>\n
Drivers with EZPass pay roughly half that amount. According to the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, roughly 85% of drivers in 2025 used the pass. Tolls climbed on Jan. 1 by 4%, the smallest in more than a decade. Hikes of 3.5% and 3% are anticipated in 2027 and 2028, respectively.<\/p>\n
Since 2007, turnpike tolls have funded $1.8 billion in state transportation projects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(The Center Square) \u2013 A new report says drivers in Pennsylvania and its neighboring states pay the most…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":128509,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[1446,28,30,29],"class_list":{"0":"post-128508","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pennsylvania","8":"tag-general","9":"tag-pennsylvania","10":"tag-pennsylvania-headlines","11":"tag-pennsylvania-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128508","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128508"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128508\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/128509"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128508"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128508"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128508"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
