NJ tolls increase by 3% on Parkway and Turnpike beginning today
NEW JERSEY - Happy Friday to everyone except New Jerseyans traveling on the Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway.
Starting Friday, tolls will increase by 3%.
That's 15 cents more for most passenger vehicles on the Turnpike and 5 cents more on the Parkway.
Earlier this year, the New Jersey Turnpike Authority approved a 3% toll hike for both the Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway.
Despite vetoing an October Turnpike toll increase proposal, NJ Gov. Phil Murphy's office said he did not block the newly proposed budget.
