The New Jersey Turnpike Authority, which operates the Garden State Parkway and the New Jersey Turnpike, is raising tolls by 3% in 2022.

A three-year toll hike begins in 2022 for five Jersey Shore bridges connecting towns in Cape May and Atlantic counties.

The government will tell you it's ONLY 3%, but they don't seem to care that the cost of living and working in NJ goes up every year.

When tolls were hiked significantly last year, the vote also authorized annual increases to account for inflation and pay for construction plans.

The new average Parkway toll now is $1.41, while the new average Turnpike toll is $4.75, according to the New Jersey Turnpike Authority.

Transportation advocates worry a hike in NJ Transit fares could be next and say the state should divert toll-hike revenue rather than widen roads.

Opponents of the New Jersey Turnpike Authority’s plans for $24 billion of construction turned the agency’s monthly meeting into an unofficial public hearing.

Activists who oppose spending $16 billion to widen parts of the Parkway and Turnpike are suggesting $36 billion in other ideas – most of it transit projects.

Sixteen people spoke at two public hearings about the proposed toll hikes on the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway. None were opposed.
