Question onToll fees for GSP (Union: garden, authority, driving)

[MikefromCT]

Hi guys

I'm driving down to Jersey this saturday and I'll be on the Garden state Pkwy near the end. I'm taking the Merritt/Hutch to I-287 where I'll eventually pick up the GSP. At the moment I don't have EZPass (don't ask) and I was wondering if anyone knows what the toll fees are now. They seem to raise them every time I'm on it - like every few months. Anyway, I know one of the options is to give exact change & I'd rather do this since I have a ton of quarters on hand. I checked on the NJTpke website but couldn't find it. Does anyone know what the fees are if I'm getting off at exit 137?

Get your two-bit change ready! Sixteen coins with GW's portrait should cover your round trip!

Southbound:
Pascack Valley - 4 bits
Essex - 8 bits

Northbound:
Union - 8 bits
Bergen - 8 bits
Pascack Valley - 4 bits

Round trip tolls = 32 bits = 16 quarters = 4 dollars.

$2.00 ONE WAY-(southbound only) ($1.00 at each toll plaza-there will be two you go thru going southbound on the GSP). I don't think exit 137 has a $0.35 toll on the exit, but i'm not sure about that.

Garden State Pakway toll plazas (right above that section is info on toll plaza fares.

Official toll rates are linked here,,, and it looks like 2 $1 barrier tolls going South and 1 barrier toll going North, total $3 round trip.

And whomever is suggesting $2 shhhh! don't ever give them that idea.
