Tolls Rising Nationwide
If you have a heartbeat and have turned on the news in the past few months, you might have heard that times are tough. Housing’s in a crunch, there’s stock market instability, you name it, and it’s all doom and gloom. However, those problems are filtering down to state governments, which are also facing some tough times. They’re turning to the nation’s toll roads to help alleviate some of their pain.
A number of states with busy toll systems are looking to hike fares by significant margins. The toll for the George Washington Bridge in New York will rise from $5 to $8 during peak times and from $25 to $35 for trucks. Toll authorities in Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania, California and other states are looking at large hikes as well. Pennsylvania is even considering adding tolls to Interstate 80. It would cost car drivers $25 to cross the 316-mile stretch. Check out the link below for more cost hikes and tell us what you think in the comments below.
