What's happening? In 2024, you'll pay higher tolls on PR-20, PR-52, PR-53 and PR-66.
According to the Autoridad de Carreteras y Transportación (ACT), the increase for Class 1 vehicles, one of seven classes and representing 90% of vehicles on the road, will be at most toll plazas "5 cents over last year."
Tolls at PR-66 plazas will not be adjusted until Jan. 1, 2025.
Why the increase? The increase follows what is established in the ACT's Fiscal Adjustment Plan, which will be reviewed every Jan. 1 through 2051.
It is calculated using a formula based on the prior year's cost-of-living index plus 1.5%.
The increases will be administered by Metropistas, the current toll operator since last December.
