Nah, bad idea. If it’s actually a problem with employees paying too much toll, it should be up to the employer to reimburse the employee. Not the state. PA’s roads are filthy in every corner of the state. Why don’t think hire some trash men with the money to clean it up

And the turnpike is optional. No one's being forced to take it.

You’re right. It’s often the ONLY route that won’t take 3hrs though. Kinda have to get on it at some points in PA unless you wanna drive all day and spend more in gas/time.

And that's why you're paying a premium to use it. Convenience / saving time.

Turnpike was initially made and promised to be free.

That was before your grandpa had a driver's license.
