CEO Brimmeier: Broader Turnpike Mission The Turnpike’s mission has changed. Under Act 44 of 2007, the Turnpike for the first time is supplying billions in new funding for statewide road and bridge projects and mass-transit agencies. Act 44 forged a unique Public-Public Partnership between the Turnpike and PennDOT which is now serving as a national model — a creative alternative for the many other states confronting infrastructure-funding challenges similar to Pennsylvania’s. Through Act 44, the Turnpike will provide $2.5 billion in supplemental transportation funding between August 2007 and May No state has generated anywhere near this level of new funding. As a result, income from this toll increase isn’t only going back into our toll roads, but for the first time funding infrastructure improvements in every county in Pennsylvania.

CEO Brimmeier: Broader Turnpike Mission (cont.) Toll-increase proceeds are mainly earmarked for non-Turnpike projects. Although funds will mostly be used by PennDOT, we will continue our intense investment in rebuilding our 545-miles of toll roads. The Turnpike originally planned to implement a toll increase in January Now, our new Act 44 responsibilities dictate that the increase is needed one year earlier. As a result of the Jan. 4, 2009 toll increase, projected annual gross toll revenue will increase from $619.2 in 2008 to approximately $738.4 million in This is only the sixth increase in 68 years since the Turnpike opened. The prior increase in August 2004 was allotted to rebuild the Turnpike. We promised every dime would go into the road. Consequently, we invested $1.2 billion since then, reconstructing 32 miles of toll road, resurfacing 173 miles and replacing 85 bridges.

CEO Brimmeier: Broader Turnpike Mission (cont.) Taken together, the Turnpike’s capital spending and Act 44 payments represent a major investment in Pennsylvania’s transportation systems. Our $4.6 billion Capital Plan and a minimum of $5.7 billion in Act 44 contributions signify an infusion of more than $10 billion to the state’s economy in 10 years. Because of this, we can begin to address a well-documented transportation funding shortfall while providing new jobs. Industry experts estimate that every $1 billion in new highway funding results in the creation of around 32,000 jobs. We’re rebuilding the Turnpike. We’re helping PennDOT and local governments reconstruct roads and bridges. We’re supplying critically needed jobs to thousands of Pennsylvanians. To meet our responsibility to support transportation statewide, from here forward we will implement automatic annual increases instead of the infrequent adjustments as in the past. Turnpike tolls will go up each year starting in January 2010 — projected to be approximately three percent annually.
