I-PASS: Your Ticket to Toll Booth Busting (and Mild Existential Dread When Your Balance Runs Low)
Let's face it, scraping for quarters at a toll booth is about as fun as getting stuck in rush hour with a polka band blasting from the next car. That's where the Illinois I-PASS comes in, your trusty sidekick on the toll road adventure (or should we say misadventure, depending on how many wrong turns you take). But before you zoom off with visions of toll-free bliss, a crucial question arises: Where exactly does this magical I-PASS work?

Fear not, intrepid traveler! I-PASS is like that cool kid in school who everyone wants to hang out with. Thanks to the E-ZPass network, your little I-PASS buddy is welcome in a whopping 19 states across the US. That's right, you can cruise through tolls from the sunshine state of Florida to the historic streets of Massachusetts without a care in the world (except maybe pumping gas, because that's a whole other story).
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.
Here's a sneak peek of your I-PASS's jet-setting lifestyle:
QuickTip: Read a little, pause, then continue.
- East Coast Escapades: Delaware, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Virginia.

- Down South Detours: North Carolina.
But wait, you say, what about the majestic state of Illinois? Don't worry, your I-PASS will feel right at home on the Illinois Tollway, including the iconic Chicago Skyway. Consider it a homecoming party after all those exciting out-of-state adventures.
QuickTip: Every section builds on the last.

Important Note: While I-PASS is super chill about adventuring in different states, double-check with the E-ZPass website to make sure there aren't any specific restrictions for your chosen route. Wouldn't want any surprises (except for maybe spotting a herd of alpacas on the side of the road, because that would be pretty cool).
Tip: A slow skim is better than a rushed read.
