Star Ledger: New Year gift from the N.J. Turnpike Authority: Higher tolls

For the drivers who make 600 million trips a year on the Parkway and Turnpike, the New Year brings one thing that is unlikely to make any of them happy: A toll hike.

As of today, there will be a 53 percent toll hike on the Turnpike and 50 percent increase on the Parkway. Beginning at 6:30 a.m., the average passenger vehicle toll will rise from $2.20 to $3.30 on the Turnpike and 70 cents to $1.05 on the Parkway.

The average truck toll will increase from $7.95 to $12.15 on the Turnpike and $1.40 to $2.15 on the Parkway.

A passenger vehicle trip from Turnpike Exit 14 in Newark to Exit 9 in East Brunswick will jump from $2.85 to $4.35.
