Starting Jan. 1, 2023, cash tolls on the 44-mile Expressway’s Egg Harbor and Route 50 toll plazas will increase from $4.40 to $4.55 for a passenger vehicle.
Expressway tolls are going up by 3% from year to year, said Kimberly Testa, a spokeswoman with the South Jersey Transportation Authority.
Tolls for the average Expressway trip will go from $2.44 to $2.53, Testa said.
SJTA officials cited inflation and increased expenses as reasons for the toll increase.
The new toll rates are lower for E-ZPass users or drivers enrolled in the Expressway’s frequent user plan. Those rates increased nine cents to $2.91 from $2.82 at the Egg Harbor and Route 50 toll plazas.
Tolls at Pleasantville, Route 9, Mays Landing, Winslow and Hammonton and Pomona-AC airport will increase to $1.35 from $1.30 for cash customers and tolls at the Williamstown and the Berlin-Cross Keys exits will go to 70 cents, up from 65 cents.
E-ZPass tolls will go up from 88 cents to 92 cents at Exit 5 for Route 9 and increase from 78 cents to 81 cents at Pomona and Mays Landing.

The authority runs the Walt Whitman, Benjamin Franklin, Betsy Ross and Commodore Barry bridges.
