| What States Use Illinois Ipass |
The Wonderful World of E-ZPass Interoperability
That's right, folks! Illinois isn't playing some state-specific toll booth game. Your I-Pass is part of a grand alliance known as the E-ZPass Interagency Group (IAG). Basically, it's a group of states that got together and said, "Hey, let's make toll travel a breeze for everyone!" So, what does that mean for you? Let's hit the road!
-
States that Welcome You With Open (Toll) Arms: Delaware, Florida (who knew sunshine came with toll reciprocity?), Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, and West Virginia. That's a whopping 18 states ready to accept your I-Pass! Cue celebratory music!
-
Canada? We Got You Covered (Eh): Our neighbors to the north don't disappoint! You can use your I-Pass on certain tolls in Ontario.
_Word to the Wise: Just because I-Pass works in these states doesn't mean all tolls are created equal. Double-check the specific toll authority's website for any state-specific quirks or restrictions.
Avoiding Toll Booth Blues: Essential Tips for Your I-Pass Journey
- Make Sure Your I-Pass is Mounted and Loaded: This might seem like a no-brainer, but a dead transponder or one stuck under your car seat is about as useful as a chocolate teapot on a toll road.
- Check Your Account Balance: Don't get caught scrambling for quarters at a high-speed toll lane. Most I-Pass providers offer online account management, so you can top up your balance with ease.
- Renting a Car? No worries! You can usually add the rental car's license plate to your I-Pass account for seamless toll sailing.
