PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Beginning today, if you're planning on taking the Pennsylvania Turnpike, you'll be paying a little bit more. 

Today marks the 15th straight year that tolls have increased. 

They're increasing by 5% for both EZ-Pass and toll-by-plate drivers. 

For most drivers, the car toll will see a 10-cent increase from $1.70 to $1.80. 

As for toll-by-plate drivers, it will increase from $4.10 to $4.40. 

The increase is needed to meet funding and capital improvement obligations. 

Also this week, a new state law goes into effect that suspends the registration of Pennsylvania drivers who owe $250 or more in turnpike tolls.
