Operative words

"The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) today approved a six-percent toll increase for all E-ZPass rates systemwide and for PA Turnpike TOLL BY PLATE rates that had been established before last month's permanent conversion to All-Electronic Tolling (AET)...." Act 44 payments "must be paid each year even if the Commission seeks, and is granted, deferment of a quarterly Act-44 payment -- as it recently did to partially offset revenue impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic."
