New Year Toll Increase

We were first hit with PATH increases and tunnel/bridge toll increases, now starting January 1st we need to prepare for Turnpike and Parkway increases. The latest hike will be about 50 percent on both highways.

Beginning at 6:30 a.m. on Jan. 1, the average passenger vehicle toll will rise from $2.20 to $3.30 on the Turnpike and 70 cents to $1.05 on the Parkway. The average truck toll will increase from $7.95 to $12.15 on the Turnpike and $1.40 to $2.15 on the Parkway. A passenger vehicle trip from Exit 9 in New Brunswick to Exit 14 in Newark on the Turnpike will jump from $2.85 to $4.35.

The increase is the second part of a two-phase toll increase adopted by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority under Gov. Corzine in October 2008.
