(Elkhart, IN) - It costs more to use the Indiana Toll Road.  A trip across the full length of the highway in a passenger vehicle is now $15.54, an increase of more than .80 cents.  A full-length trip for a Class 5 truck is now $83.86, an increase of $4.56 from last year.

The funds will be used to help maintain the privately operated toll road.
 

It was nearly 20 years ago when the state placed the toll road under a 75 year lease.  In return, the state received close to $4 billion from the private operators, ITR Concession Co. based in Elkhart.

The new rates went into effect July 1st.
