Indiana Toll Road rate hike now in effect

Expect to pay more on the Indiana Toll Road starting Thursday.

The subsidy that has been in place since the Indiana Toll Road was privatized over a decade ago is going away on June 1. That means a 126-percent increase for E-ZPass drivers in passenger cars and motorcycles.

That means that an entire trip from one end of the toll road to the other in Indiana will rise from $4.65 to $10.52. The hikes represent about a decade’s worth of hikes that would have taken place without a freeze, but are instead happening all at once.

Democratic Rep. Scott Pelath of Michigan City told WNDU that the rate freeze helped people that enacted the freeze and “kicked the can down the road past a few elections.”

This will take place exactly one month before another, smaller hike takes place. On July 1, the end-to-end rate will go up 23 cents from $10.52 to $10.75.
