DOWNERS GROVE, IL (WKOW) -- The Illinois Tollway announced Thursday tolls will no longer be accepting cash.
The agency will now only be accepting I-Pass, E-ZPass, or online payments. Paying by check or money order is an option for those who can't pay online.
The decision was made almost a year after the tollway stopped taking cash due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The tollway is planning in May to launch a program for low-income drivers that will waive deposits on I-PASS transponders and add $20 in tolls to people with household incomes up to 2 1/2 times the poverty line.
Illinois Tollway reports that more than 92 percent of toll transactions were via I-PASS and E-ZPass in 2019.

They must just mail you the bill? Nope, you're responsible for paying. They will mail you a citation and fine.
Some people refuse to see the truth when you bludgeon them over the head with it.

What's a "tollway"?
How would they force a guy from out of state to pay?

Jim I've ran a pile of them, never got a bill. Maybe they don't enforce it if you have out of state plates?

The State of Indiana will revoke your license if you don't pay a toll to the State of Kentucky?

Jim Suspend is what they said. I haven't tested it though. Well other than my 1 round trip experiment. I think they have some special agreement. Heck 18 wheelers are $18 or more per crossing or maybe 24. I can't remember what the sign says. Its interstate so gets a lot of out of state people. I don't know the details on how they enforce collection in other states. I do know I got the bill.

Coming back from vacation last year on the NC coast I kept seeing signs that said toll road but never came up on any toll booths like the ones on I77, well about a month after we got back I received a bill from the state of NC along with pics of my vehicle and license plate. They just have cameras set up that take pics and then they send bill to you That's what Denver does on certain toll roads. Jim
