State Senator Andrew Chesney (R-Freeport) is holding the first of five “IPASS on Demand” events on November 7 in Rockton. For the events, Chesney will partner with local officials and a mobile team from the Illinois Tollway to help motorists switch out their plastic IPASS transponders for the new IPASS sticker technology.
“The Tollway is phasing out the plastic transponders we have in our cars and replacing them with stickers,” said Chesney. “Traditional transponders will continue to work through the expiration date on each unit, but these events allow people to make the switch quickly and conveniently, and without any disruption to their IPASS account or activity.”
