Dupage Policy Journal

State Senator Seth Lewis (R-Bartlett) and State Representative Amy Grant (R-Wheaton) are collaborating with the Illinois Tollway to assist motorists in updating their IPASS technology. The initiative involves transitioning from plastic transponders to new sticker tags. An event to facilitate this change will be held on Thursday, October 24, in Carol Stream.

"Officials from the Illinois Tollway will be on hand to help people transfer over to the new sticker technology and ensure people can make the switch without disruption to their IPASS account activity," said Lewis. "Along with providing this service, the tollway officials can help people with questions they may have about their IPASS account and with 'Pay by Plate' issues."

The event details are as follows:

IPASS On Demand Event

Once activated, the sticker tag can be used on the Illinois tollway and on E-Z Pass roadways in other states within 24 hours of activation. There is no deposit required for the sticker, and the $10 transponder deposit paid when a transponder was purchased will transfer to the new account upon activation.
