It's going to cost you more to travel the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission approved a five percent increase for both E-ZPass and cash customers starting next year.
Officials say yearly turnpike toll increases are because of a transportation funding law signed in 2007 requiring the commission to make payments to PennDOT in addition to maintaining the turnpike system.
The higher rates take effect on January 4, 2015.
