When and how do toll prices increase

Toll prices generally increase in line with changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), or cost of living changes. Government regulation determines how much and how often toll prices increase each year. The exact rate at which toll prices increase and how often these increases are applied differs from one toll road to the next, as determined by the Government.
