Tolls to increase November 1, 2012
 PORTLAND, MAINE - The Maine Turnpike Authority Board today unanimously approved a plan to raise an additional $21.14 million in toll revenue to continue a 30-year plan to maintain and rehabilitate the Turnpike's network of bridges, interchanges and pavement and well as pay off existing debt.
The new toll plan goes into effect November 1, 2012. The decision will raise the cash rate at mainline toll plazas in York, New Gloucester and West Gardiner. Drivers will now pay $3 instead of $2 in York, those traveling through New Gloucester will pay $2.25 cash instead of $1.75 and West Gardiner will increase from $1.25 to $1.75 in cash. Tolls for motorists traveling north from Exit 19 in Wells and south from Exit 63 in Gray will increase from $1 to $1.50 cash. Travelers entering and exiting all other side tolls and entering the Turnpike from I-295 in Gardiner will not be affected.
With the new rates, the full length cash trip from York to Augusta will increase from $5.00 to $7.00 while the most-common cash toll for a standard commercial-truck (Class 5) will rise from $20.00 to $28.00. The increase will be applied to all vehicle classes. Even after a toll adjustment the Turnpike will remain among the lowest priced toll roads in the U.S.
E-ZPass rates will be rasied only 1 cent per mile. This will apply to your BESTPASS transponder as well.
