Toll prices tie record for third straight day on morning commute

It's official: Metro Atlanta commuters have seen a third straight morning of record-setting tolls on Interstate 85.

Triple Team Traffic's Mark Arum has been tracking the toll prices on Channel 2 Action News This Morning and the record toll was hit just after 8 a.m.

Channel 2 Action News has reported over the past week the increasing rates to use the express lanes. The toll on Monday and Tuesday previously hit the same record of $15.50.

TRENDING STORIES:

The State Road and Tollway Authority voted earlier this month to change the rates and remove the cap that used to be maxed at $13.95.

Now, there is no longer a maximum toll for using the express lanes. The actual rates are set based on the amount of traffic using them at any given time.

SRTA told Channel 2 Action News they want to keep the HOT lanes moving and make it a benefit for those who are willing to pay for the tolls.
