Drivers have voiced their opinions about the proposed toll increase.

The West Virginia Turnpike Authority manager Greg Barr says opponents called the toll increase unfair, unjust and discriminatory.

If it passes, tolls will go up 75 cents to two dollars for cars, and large trucks will go from $4.25 to $6.27.

The Authority will vote on the toll hike on June 25th.
