Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission
In a July news release, the Turnpike Commission estimated "the most-common toll for a passenger vehicle next year will increase from $1.40 to $1.50 for E-ZPass customers and from $2.30 to $2.50 for cash customers." A toll increase should not be a surprise for travelers.
The Keyser Avenue and Clarks Summit toll plazas cost $2.60 using toll-by-plate and $1.20 using E-ZPass for passenger vehicles. Until March 2020, the road used the ticket system method of tolling between the Mid-County and Wyoming Valley toll plazas along with the mainline Pennsylvania Turnpike.
Currently, the only toll on I-80 in Pennsylvania is the westbound toll at the Delaware Water Gap Toll Bridge between Pennsylvania and New Jersey. On October 15, 2007, the lease for the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission to toll I-80 was signed, and tolls were to be implemented by 2010.
