Illinois Ipass question? |
Travel Info How do I know that the new "open Road Tollway" system saw my Ipass. What happens if it didnt? Travel Tips You don't. The newer I-Pass does not have an audible beep in it anymore, so there's no indication that it saw it. If it didn't, the system will capture your license plate number and you'll receive a letter from the Illinois Department of Transportation. You'll have 21 days of the receipt of the letter to contact them and verify that your I-Pass is working, and they'll adjust the toll appropriately. If you fail to contact them after receiving such a letter, you can be cited for failure to pay your toll. The "open road tollway" technology actually works much more reliably than the single transmitter above each lane in the toll plazas. They've been experimenting with that for several years now down in Orlando, and it works well enough that they eventually plan to convert all toll plazas to "open road tolling." You can always check your account online, too, to make sure that the most recent tolls have been debited from your account. Source(s): http://www.illinoistollway.com/portal/pa...

It is important to periodically review your account activity to ensure your transponder is functioning properly. Excessive V-Tolls will result in penalties, so please mount your transponder correctly and ensure it is working properly.

The blue light tells you that you have been detected. This requires a stop and go after the light goes on. |
