State Senator Andrew Chesney (R-Freeport) is bringing a mobile team from the Illinois Tollway to Elizabeth on December 9 for an IPASS on Demand event. Successful events have already been held in Rockton, Freeport, Machesney Park, and Elizabeth.
“The Tollway is transitioning away from plastic transponders and are replacing them with new sticker technology,” said Chesney. “Rather than having my constituents complete this transaction at the DMV or elsewhere where there may be a fee, I am bringing a mobile team into the 45th District for quick, easy, and free service.”
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. 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. Please note that those who attend should jot down their license plate number to ensure quick service.
IPASS on Demand
Monday, December 16
3:00 – 7:00 PM
Resource Bank in Kirkland
414 Main Street, Kirkland
Co-Host: Kirkland Village President Ryan Block
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 that was paid when a transponder was purchased will be transferred to the new account when it is activated. Balances on current transponders will also be transferred over to the sticker account.
“These events provide easy access for my constituents to make the switch,” added Chesney. “I would encourage motorists to attend the event closest to their home.”
