Question : How has the reduction in these payments impacted the Turnpike’s operations?
Sort order :

The Turnpike is now able to make investments in our system, which had been significantly reduced due to Act 44 impacts and the traffic and revenue loss caused by the pandemic. In FY 2023, the Turnpike is investing $630 million in our capital plan. This spending will have a direct, positive impact on our customers and our statewide economy. At the Turnpike, we are expanding the roadway from four to six lanes to keep up with increased demands and for safety purposes; we are installing a systemwide fiber optic network to power our conversion to All-Electronic Tolling and other improvements. We are adding new interchanges in Montgomery, Lackawanna, and Westmoreland Counties. These interchanges are a critical economic driver for these communities and our state. Ultimately, our goal is to increase capital investments to $1 billion annually. Click here to learn more about our capital plan.
