Illinois Tolls Jump Jan 1 | Milwaukee News

from Milwaukee News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Starting January 1, Illinois drivers brace for steeper tolls—45 cents more per trip for passenger vehicles, doubling to 90 cents if you’re paying cash. Commercial trucks face a 30% rate hike, and all tolls will now auto-adjust for inflation every two years. Wisconsin travelers? Get ready: your cross-state trips will cost more, especially on routes like Milwaukee to Chicago. The Illinois Tollway funds itself entirely through user fees, giving it the green light to raise prices without state or federal help—while Wisconsin’s own toll road dreams remain stalled.
