The Turnpike Authority board is set to finalize toll increases.

A vote is scheduled tomorrow on the plan to raise tolls for passenger cars at the Allston-Brighton and Weston interchanges by 25 cents to $1.25.

One-way tolls for cars in the Ted Williams and Sumner tunnels would rise 50 cents to $3.50.

The hikes would take effect in January.

The board also will consider an alternative plan that only cash-paying drivers would pay the extra 25 cents at Allston-Brighton and Weston, meaning no increase for Fast Lane users; while raising tolls by $1.25 in the tunnels for Fast Lane users; and by $1.50 for cash-paying drivers and taxis.

Governor Patrick's administration says more hikes are likely next year unless lawmakers agree to his plans to overhaul transportation agencies.
