PA Turnpike Toll Increase
A heads-up for anyone who takes the Turnpike: on January 4th (this coming Sunday), tolls will be going up about 25%, according to the PA Turnpike website.

At a glance, EZ Pass rates appear to be slightly cheaper (as in, 1-4 cents) on some exits. For example: Mid-county (NE Extension exit 20) to Philadelphia (exit 351) is currently 1.50, increasing to 1.90 for cash, and 1.88 for EZ Pass. Mid-county to Willow Grove (exit 343), however, will increase to 1.25 for both cash and EZ Pass.
So, if you're hitting the roads starting next week, remember to bring a little extra change. =D
Exact fee schedules can be found here (EZ Pass) and here (cash). They're rather large PDF files, so be careful if your computer hates them like mine does. :P
