1. What is the GSP Toll Calculator?

The GSP (Garden State Parkway) Toll Calculator estimates the cost of traveling on the Garden State Parkway based on distance traveled, current toll rates per mile, and any additional fees.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the GSP toll formula:

Where:

• \( \text{Distance} \) — Miles traveled on GSP
• \( \text{Rate Per Mile} \) — Current toll rate (typically $0.11/mile)
• \( \text{Fees} \) — Additional fixed fees (typically $0.50)

Explanation: The calculation accounts for both the variable distance-based toll and any fixed fees that may apply to your trip.

3. Importance of Toll Calculation

Details: Accurate toll estimation helps with trip budgeting and planning, especially for frequent travelers or commercial vehicles using the Garden State Parkway.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter distance in miles, current rate per mile (default is $0.11), and any additional fees (default is $0.50). All values must be valid positive numbers.
