The Center Square \u2014 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
