During a hearing today the NJ Turnpike Authority which operates both the Turnpike and Parkway voted to raise tolls effective September 13th.
The Garden State Parkway tolls will increase at barrier plazas to $1.90 from $1.50. Ramp tolls which normally were $0.50-$1.50 will go up to $0.65-$1.90. The Toms River toll which is collected in both directions will raise to $0.95 each way. Brick, Lakewood, Lacey & Berkeley ramp tolls will jump to $0.65.
Meanwhile the Turnpike will also see an increase across the board. It currently costs a vehicle $13.85 to travel the entire roadway. Once increased, it will cost $18.85 for a passenger vehicle.
Trucks will also see a hefty increase as they have been traditionally charged more than passenger vehicles.

What is this a******’s little do with this mighty stick it in his pocket to cause all the other taxes he reigns he didn’t do no infrastructure God knows he didn’t fix the roads in New Jersey are horrible so I’d like to know where the money goes
Joseph Clappsy Sr. Pensions.
I’ll be long gone from Jersey by the time they go into effect
Go local roads when you can
Fuck Joe Public. We need more money from you schmucks. Wait the gas tax is gonna go up again too. Keep voting for the Democrats.
Ronnie Grozinski gas tax was Christie. Everyone was about that…
Sheryl Drumm went up on Horseface too. And will go up again.
Ronnie Grozinski that’s because in 2016 when Christie signed it into law it stated if it didn’t generate 2BILLION in revenue it gave the transportation trust fund the ability to raise it until it does.
Out of their minds … New Jersey’s new slogan: Bankrupt and Corrupt
Barbara Ingram yup. This state is a cess pool
This is outrageous. Why the hell are we not auditing the Turnpike Authority? They collect a ton of money already, and somehow it’s not enough. We really need to know what the hell they’re pissing money away on. I wonder how many friends & family of politicians hold useless middle management jobs that pay $100K a year where they work hard playing Fortnite all day.
Michael De Fortuna drive through. F them. Cover up the plate. Murphy and his ugly wife and his political hack attorney suck
Michael De Fortuna higher ups need their raises ya know! And maybe bc no traffic for 2 months and loss a lot of money! Always money hungry!
What a surprise. NOT
Shana Aquila I hate it here ????
Alyssa Aquila Nobody is making you stay.
Quinn Catherine
Way to go!! Screw everyone up the ass again. Especially after a pandemic when people were out of work!!!! You all SUCK in Trenton!! So my commute goes from $60 a month to $76. Assholes
just unbelievable! what about the new gas taxes! what has happened to cause this increase! this is a LOT of money….
New Jersey sucks! I used to love living here ????
$cumbags
That’s why he is and always will be an asshole
So let the bennies pay the lower price then screw the locals. Wow!
They should raise tolls Memorial Day weekend and lower them again after Labor Day every year.
How the hell are NJ people suppose to live~~~~can the people Murphy caters to really afford this???? Cause they don’t even pay property taxes~~~~~~????
Murphy and his political hack attorney general and his ugly wife sucks. Continue to f people while they are down. Stop ???? Murphy now. A hole.
Here we go
Haven’t they bleed us enough, NJ?
I can’t believe I voted for Murphy. What a tool. I will remember this when the time comes to vote again and it’s not for Murphy!
That’s bs bs bs
Democrats
Keep choking the working class. Way to go.
Murphy u r a prick!!! U piece of shit!!! Bend over and screw urself with a dry cactus
Michael Newnom Winner! ????
BS…….
Impeach him. Time to get him out of office
It would be harder n take alot longer but if no one drove parkway for a week after increase n parkway didnt make a single penny i bet you they would bring price back down such a rip off state
John Losi I would love this!!!!!!
John Losi not possible. Too many businesses use it daily with no other route
Democrats are real quiet now… How much more can they take from the working class…
Ed Tamburr I thought Dems were for the working class.
This is total bullshit! After everything we have all been thru the j okay 2.5 months, the hardships that we have all endured —and they are doing this?!?!, wtf!!! Hate NJ SO MUCH. Four more years, then out of this hell hole. ????????
WOW!!!! Unbelievable!!!!!
Bullcrap
HEY MURPHY!!!!
How about suspending the tolls instead! Idiots! Remember when we were promised that the tolls would only be there until the cost to build was reimbursed!!?!
And it STARTS!!!
FUCK YOU
Yup they voted when he told all of us commoners to stay home , only people out were the people voting.
And this why I am out of this corrupt state as soon as my son graduates high school next year. I hate it here
It’s time to get this dead weight Murphy out of this state.Go take a deep swim in the Navasink river!!!
Time to put mud on my back plates..
Automatic license plate cover
Teddy Rodriguez
Lindsay Lombardo
Samantha Rodriguez nooooooo
Danny DiAngelo this state blows
effing outrage…greedy!
This makes me sick!
Louis Saldino
Chelsie Saldino oh awesome
Does anyone believe if they get money from the FEDS they’ll magically become fiscally responsible? NJ state government acts like teenage million dollar lottery winners when it comes to spending money.
They need to stop buying private land for 5 mill and donating it for a dollar…….true story. They bought property off wells mills rd in waretown for 5 mill. Just under 900 acres and the turned around and donated it to the pine lands conservation
Go fuck yourself Murphy
Time to move out of NJ
Murphy sucks. Time for him to get arrested for putting sick patients into nursing homes.
Fucking ridiculous ???? impeach Murphy, use to love this state, we are the most corrupt of them all!!
Everyone should just run the tolls
Yup He Is a POS.. he needs to so go. This state sadly has gone to ????
BOHICA !!
The most f cked up thing I ever seen. Collect money to pay the cock suckers who collect the money and give them a pension like you would not believe. Cause traffic and waste gas which cost money. Morons. murphy you really suck dick.
If you want more of this shit management keep voting the same shit bags back in
Murphy is so clueless about how people live. And this is why there’s Direction on how to make a pop tart. Because of him.
How is it cheaper in gas then tolls?
This is insane. Just hit us while we’re down. Unbelievable.
Does this surprise you?! If Murphy really cared about our safety don’t you think he would’ve shut down the state lottery when this whole thing started so people weren’t entering convenience stores and pharmacies for the sole purpose of gambling? He’s in it for the money and nothing else.
Tony DeBlasio I agree! He’s an asshat
So let me get this straight, there’s a pandemic, and many people lost their jobs/ money, and you raise the rates. How is this even brought to the table to even be voted on?
Jason Milan
Wow
For what these fuckers just had 2 months off
This is NOT okay ????????
The only reason I stay is because my girls and Grandson are here.. this is no longer the NJ we all grew up in and fell in love with
I am sure property taxes will probably be next,,, how much higher can they go
Hence another reason why NJ is the most moved from state in the country. Let’s pour salt in the wounds of all of the citizens who have lost their jobs during a pandemic that shut down the entire world but heck why not raise the tolls in NJ because that will help! Murphy it’s time for you to go. You have no understanding of the working class.
Mary Andrea ~ I agree with you totally. Once this State is finally open again, he should be taking all the tolls away for at least a few months so that we can go to work & have some time to catch-up with all the money that many of us lost…& NOT even think of raising them at all!!!????????????
I’ll stay off parkway when possible this is bullshit. People unemployed bankrupt etc. kick um when they’re down. Big raises for government and corporate
Rob Haelig
Vienna Haelig absolutely ridiculous
Next we’re gunna get taxed for breathing. This is the WORST STATE. The logic in the moves they make for us is truly mind blowing. Nothing makes sense. It’s like they legit want it harder for people.
So people should start traveling secondary roads now to clog up roadways and cause traffic nightmares in the towns that the parkway goes through.
Craig Saltarelli Yup
Another nail in the coffin of this state.
I will not take the parkway to work come 9/13. I will take the extra time and take back roads!
Bec Gibson
This is bs for commuters!
Bankrupted the state then jack up tolls and tax! Phil Murphy is a rat face fu*k
Jimmy Fisher
All we the people can do is use this platform to complain. We can’t ask them to fix the road with that money instead of going into there bS pension fund, we can’t ask them to actually be open when we use the cash only lane instead of getting a fine for not paying cash and have to use a stamp , we can’t get rid of Murphy , all we do is complain and be trolled by other people who don’t make decisions. Can’t not use the parkway besides 18.
Haha back to back roads for me i guess
Probably trying to make up for all the loss due to COVID-19 ????????
He has ruined our state in a way we will never come back from, financially he’s made it virtually impossible to stay, especially once retired….
Great, giving it to the people nice and Deep!!! State is the worst.
Getting real sick of this. That’s gonna be $20-$50 a week travel expense for anyone who has to commute on the parkway, not including gas. We already get taxed when we buy gas(which continues to inflate over the years, as well), taxed when we renew our license and registration taxed when we purchase a car, taxed when we buy parts for cars. How much money does one single state need to suck out of us just for using their roadways
James Sturiale It was costing my husband $14.00 a day not including gas to go to Bergen. Thank God he just retired.
Sure. People are experiencing some of the worst financial hardships ever with the costs of groceries skyrocketing, and now toll hikes? Way to keep your constituents down!
That’s okay..he also signed a bill giving financial aid to undocumented students….how they hell are they gonna collect loan payments from.people there is no record of???
Such total bullshit,
Unreal
Tim Calleja crazy!
Holy shit that just gives them a reason to raise it for good
This guy has no connection to New Jersey (he was born & grew up in Massachusetts). He’s from Goldman Sachs just like another pathetic failure of a Governor that we already had, Jon Corzine. He said he was going to raise taxes on us when he campaigned. I know we’ve had some terrible Governors & his predecessor Chris Christie was truly awful, but how did people not see the signs that this Governor was going to be an abomination?
And Murphy and the scum bag thieves in Trenton sneak ANOTHER tax hike through while everyone is distracted. Great job NJ…..you are getting what you deserve and earned by your idiot voting.
????????????????
Typical Democrat move
Ryan Armstrong
After the hike I’ll only use the pw one way. I’ll get off at 98 for Howell and take rt9 and 79 through freehold on my way home.
And again, crushing NJ residents pockets!
Give us EZ pass discounts like NY.
NY and most other states. When I go visit family in Maine, I think every other state along the way gives a discount for ezpass
Brought our state to its knees and now this. Crooked is what they all are.
im from NY and soo many people want to move to NJ yet people are saying another reason to move out of this state. i never liked it to begin with i feel bad for the people who like it and always say its soo good its not. a state full of bs laws and a governer shitting on you guys yet lets put the state of nj decal stickers on the back of our cars. wakeup your pride is killin youss. it cost 20 dollars to cross over to brooklyn from staten island and we aint really complaining they raise it a dollar every single year
F**king BULLSHIT
They need to make their money back from this pandemic..
I dont mind a 50c toll increase, just the TWO GRAND increase in property taxes.
Fuck you Phil Murphy. Fuck you
Oh well. Guess I will just have to stop taking the GSP/NJTP, as I am sure a lot of you will. I hope the revenue freaking crashes. Won’t God drop an Acme safe on this moron’s head already?
WHERE IS TOLL BY PLATE!?! Every other state I travel to has it. WTF?
They have to make up the money lost while you all were at home being quarantined. Did you really think they would let that money go without getting it back. Wait and see whar else being “good citizens” has cost you.
Wow this state is a hot mess
They can do this but no one can get in touch with unemployment or people haven’t had any income for months disgusting
I just don’t understand, everybody bitches and complains about New Jersey and doesn’t like it and how terrible it is to live here and how expensive it is, then why don’t you just move out instead of complaining about it all the time? Pennsylvania is real cheap
Donna Marie Elaine Peters Montgomery, Bucks County and Upper Main Line are cheap?
Michelle Finney you can find a lot more house for a lot less money than you can in New Jersey. There’s beautiful beautiful homes out by Blue Mountain for half the price of what you’re going to get New Jersey
They want to make up for some of the money they lost due to this fucken virus
Suck a dick
Disgraceful
????
Ugg
Christine Ruth Yep…I can still afford the Parkway to drive to work but will start taking local to go home.
Tara Lynn Sometimes the extra time is worth saving the money.
But yet they wont open the state up smh????♂️
more scumbags trying to dip their hand into people’s pockets that don’t have any money because these scumbags won’t give us money to help us out because they’re too busy spending it playing golf
