Pennsylvania Turnpike raising tolls 5 percent Sunday

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission is reminding drivers it’s going to cost more to drive on the turnpike beginning Sunday.

The commission approved a five percent toll increase last August.

It affects the common toll for a passenger vehicle, increasing it 10 cents from $1.70 to $1.80 for E-ZPass customers.
