Next year is shaping up to be an expensive one for Garden State drivers as the New Jersey Turnpike Authority officially joins a list of potential toll and fare hikes that will take effect in 2025.

The process eliminates the need for public hearings. Tolls will increase on Jan. 1 by 16 cents on the NJ Turnpike and 8 cents at Parkway barrier plazas, and 3 cents on Parkway entrance and exit ramps.
