For those of you traveling the Illinois Toll Roads the Tolls will double in price, January 1, 2005
At the present they are 40 cents, going up to 80 cents.
A few booth's on I - 355 are 50 cent & will go up to $1.00
Truckers will take the biggest hit as their tolls will double and triple in some cases, but the truck tolls will vary in price depending on the time of day you roll through.
The increase is to force Illinois residents to buy the I - Pass Transponder ( $ 50 ).
Its that electronic toll deduction device stuck to the inside of your windsheild. For I - Pass users the tolls will remain 40 to 50 cents. A $
40.00 credit is established when you buy the unit. There is a $10.00 deposit for the unit. When your account gets down to $10.00 your automatically billed $40.00 through your credit card.Only CASH paying customers ( & out of staters ) will pay an incresed toll.
Santa Claus brought me an I - Pass for Christmas.
