Signs on the electronic toll booths indicate to motorists entering the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Gibsonia, Pa. on Monday, Aug. 30, 2021, to keep moving and the methods being used to collect tolls. More than $104 million in Pennsylvania Turnpike tolls went uncollected last year as the agency fully converted to all-electronic tolling.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PA Turnpike) will implement a 5 percent toll increase starting at 12:01 a.m. Jan. 8.

Along with the increase, the PA Turnpike reminded drivers in a Tuesday news release of a new law that will suspend motor-vehicle registrations of owners with four or more overdue Toll By Plate invoices or $250 or more in unpaid tolls or outstanding toll invoices.

Act 112 — a measure signed into law on Nov. 3, 2022 — went into effect at the start of the new year. It enables the PA Turnpike to work with PA Department of Transportation (PennDOT) to suspend registrations at a lower threshold.
