Many Wisconsinites travel through Northern Illinois to visit
Chicago or on their way to another destination.
Illinois operates a tollway, collecting tolls at various points.
Motorists may proceed through the tolls by stopping to pay at each
collection point or with an electronic transponder called an I-Pass
that allows cars to move through each point without stopping.
Illinois Tollway drivers should make sure they either have money
to pay the tolls or an I-PASS or EZ-Pass transponder with money in
their account. If you find yourself without exact change at an
unmanned booth or accidentally drive through an Open Road Tolling or
I-PASS lane without an I-PASS, you can pay a missed toll within
seven days on the Tollway's Web site or by calling 1-800-UC-IPASS.
Under the Illinois Tollway's Violation Enforcement Program, $20
fines are issued for every unpaid toll. Notices are sent to
violators accumulating 3 or more toll violations over a two-year
period. Violators have 21 days to either pay the fines or request a
hearing to contest the violation notices. If notices or hearing
findings are ignored, additional penalties can apply including
increased fines by $50 to $70 per violation, suspension of license
plates and driver's licenses, and referral to collection agencies.
