Drivers who use the Pennsylvania Turnpike will pay more for tolls starting Jan. 5.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission approved a six percent next year for both E-ZPass users and cash customers.

It will start Jan. 5 on all sections and extensions except for three "cashless" toll facilities in western Pennsylvania, which will go into effect Oct. 27.

The Turnpike Commission said the increase is needed for increasing debt service costs. The money is also needing to repair aging roads.
  
The toll for most passenger vehicles will increase from $1.40 to $1.50 for E-ZPass customers and from $2.30 to $2.50 for cash customers. Most tractor-trailer tolls will jump from $3.70 to $4.00 for E-ZPass and from $16.30 to $17.30 for cash.
