AG DePasquale Turnpike Audit Release

PA Auditor General Eugene DePasquale laid it on the line with the funding of the PA Turnpike in his recent audit.Toll rates are expected to triple in under 30 years, which may lead more drivers to avoid the highway and use winding and steep alternate routes instead. DePasquale has previously warned that the Turnpike’s toll increases and rising debt load, the result of legally required payments to PennDOT, are unsustainable and creating a hardship for motorists.[[{"fid":"318212","view_mode":"full","fields":{"format":"full","alignment":"","field_file_image_attribution[und][0][value]":""},"type":"media","field_deltas":{"2":{"format":"full","alignment":"","field_file_image_attribution[und][0][value]":""}},"attributes":{"class":"media-element file-full","data-delta":"2"}}]]
