Tolls are going up again for drivers paying in cash on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

Under the new tolls that take effect Sunday, drivers paying with E-ZPass won't see an increase.

The five-member Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission approved the toll hike in July as part of an effort to generate money  to help pay off bonds that fund highway improvements and mass transit systems around the state.

This year's hike marks the fourth straight annual boost by the commission to pay off the bonds, and will raise approximately $23 million in new revenue next year. The new rates will mean the most common cash toll for passenger vehicles will increase from $1.10 to $1.25.

The commission says nearly two-thirds of turnpike travelers already use E-ZPass.
