Tolls are going up on the Kansas Turnpike.
The Turnpike Authority announced Monday that beginning Feb. 1 toll rates will be adjusted to pay for future projects, replenish reserves used during the pandemic and entice additional customers to use K-TAG, KTA’s electronic toll collection program.
Those who use an electronic transponder to pay for tolls will see an approximate 2 percent increase for inflation. Customers paying at the toll booths with cash or card will see about a 12 percent increase.
The Kansas Turnpike receives no tax funding and relies on user fees, to pay for operations and maintenance of the roadway.
The KTA annual report survey is available below.
