Just as long as none of the funds collected through EZPass go to line the coffers of the Teamsters Union, which is the union the toll collectors belong to.

Disgusting, greedy racket those toll booths. I’ve seen a more than 50% increase in the tolls in the last two years in PA and it is not going to road work. It all goes straight to union wages, union benefits, and union pension.

The PA turnpike tolls were set up to cover the cost of the road, road repair, salaries, etc. for the PA turnpike ONLY. That fund was raided for general road funds and whenever SEPTA needed an infusion of cash from the state.
