    WV turnpike doubles in a couple weeks too. $13.50 cash per gate. Was supposed to start January 1. But governor delayed it so ez pass could catch up on orders for transponders.

    I meant yearly. They are giving the toll road 550million for construction. Those funds always seem to be spread out. So is 550million the majority or not?

    The workers have more perks than you can imagine. The system is corrupt, and a money pit. But we the tpke user pays for it. Toll roads are like the story about a goose that laid golden eggs.

    I spent $10400 on all tolls in 2018 with one truck. PA took $2300 for tolls where I run total 9430 miles toll and non toll. Their fuel tax is one the largest, if not the largest in the country too.
    Still, not enough for them!
