America’s Top-Earning Toll Agencies

E-ZPass Toll Plaza

 

The 122-mile long New Jersey Turnpike has gained notoriety for its tolls. Every year, the authority running that stretch of road collects the most revenue of any toll agency in the United States – a whopping $1.4 billion. Annually, America’s toll agencies take in $13 billion in revenue and the New York tri-state area accounts for nearly a third of that. Drivers in that region have to fork over about $4 billion in tolls every year.
