Question : Does the Turnpike receive any state funding?
Sort order :

No. The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission’s sole source of operating-revenue comes from our tolls collected. Our agency does not receive tax dollars from the Commonwealth to maintain and operate our existing system. In fact, the situation is quite the opposite. Under state law, Act 44 enacted in 2007, the Turnpike has provided PennDOT with $8 billion in funding, mainly to fund mass-transit needs in the Commonwealth’s largest metro areas.
