The Pennsylvania Turnpike brings the future of toll collection worldwide to the Commonwealth with its conversion to open road tolling. The switch to ORT east of Reading and on the Northeast Extension will become active on Sunday,

Tolls will also increase by 5% on Sunday, but that has been an annual event since 2007 when state law began requiring the Turnpike to help fund public transportation.

Turnpike officials say the increase still keeps the rate in the mid-range for toll prices, and most trips will see an increased cost of less than $1.

A new rate increase for drivers on Oklahoma toll roads is now in effect. The higher rate, which went into effect Wednesday, was designed to generate a 15% increase in toll revenues system-wide, but the specific toll rate increase for travel will vary by turnpike based on the amount of infrastructure improvements planned as part of the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority’s ACCESS Oklahoma long-range plan,
