Turnpike board set to take initial vote on raising tolls - The Boston Globe

The Massachusetts Turnpike Authority is scheduled to take an initial vote today on a series of toll hikes, even as Governor Deval Patrick looks toward sweeping long-term changes in the state transportation system in hope of saving money.

Tolls at the Allston-Brighton and Weston booths could rise to as much as $1.75, a 75 cent increase. Tolls in the Ted Williams and Sumner tunnels could double to as much as $6.
