Drivers who pay their Pennsylvania Turnpike toll in cash soon won’t be able to find out how much they owe by looking at their ticket.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission won’t be printing the costs of tolls on tickets when tolls go up on the 545-mile highway, beginning next month.

Tolls are set to increase annually under a 2007 transportation-funding law. They’ll go up 10 percent for cash customers and 3 percent for E-ZPass users.

Turnpike spokesman Carl DeFebo said not printing new tickets every year will save money.
