Drivers Love I-PASS & Open Road Tolling

I Love My I-PASS

If you are one of the many happy customers enjoying non-stop toll collection in ORT lanes, please share your love of I-PASS and Open Road Tolling.



Joel, Evanston
Besides the convenience of the transponder, the I-PASS customer service team is stellar. I recently had an issue where I had not updated my account with our new vehicle, and had received a citation in the mail. I called in to customer service, and the representative walked me through the steps, and fixed everything for us - saving me from having to attend a hearing in Downers Grove! The representative was very pleasant and helpful. Thank you!

Lois, Youngstown, OH
We have used our I-PASS for two years to visit our new grandson. Now that we can use it in Ohio also, I-PASS will make our trips even easier. We are glad Ohio finally entered the new century.

Ted, Naperville
I have had I-PASS since 1999 and have never had a problem. I have family in NY State, Philadelphia and Maine and with the exception of Ohio, I-PASS is accepted everywhere and it certainly saves a lot of time by breezing through toll booths. Thank you Illinois Tollway for having such a great system with the reciprocity with i-Zoom and E-ZPass.

Kevin, Marseilles
I took my I-PASS with me to Niagara Falls and it was accepted in all states but Ohio. That was nice. And after using the other tollways I'm now proud to say that the Illinois system is by far the best of all. We don't even have to hit the brakes.

Robert, Milwaukee
Had a wonderful trip through the Tollway. That I-PASS is amazing! Got to my destination in record time, with plenty of gas to spare! Can't wait for the construction to finish up!
Thanks for making this all possible!!

Jamie, Round Lake
This makes highway driving such a breeze...I head into the city pretty much all summer long whether it's going to Cubs games, Taste of Chicago or any attraction downtown, the I-PASS saves me a lot of time and money...which is especially important in these tough economic times! I LOVE MY I-PASS!!

Al, Geneva
We traveled through 6 states on our way to New England IL, IN, PA, NY, DE and only 1 didn't utilize I-PASS. We saved time, long long lines at some, and hefty amounts. Our I-PASS made their states EZPass a breeze and actual fun!

Sue, Michigan City, IN
I used to dread the drive to O'Hare and Midway to pick up family or catch a flight.
With I-PASS, it's a breeze!

Jackie, Brookfield, WI
I've been traveling state roads for years to avoid tolls when regularly visiting friends and family in Illinois. With the cost of gas, the start and stop driving through towns along the way was hurting my wallet. With I-PASS, I not only have improved my mileage, but I've cut off travel time. I never thought it made sense for out of state people to own an I-PASS. I've since changed my mind. Thanks, I-PASS.

Patti, Hoffman Estates
I got my I-PASS shortly after they were available. I’m a Realtor and it makes my job easier and faster to be able to use open road tolling. I love that I can pass up all the congestion in the toll lines.

Hal, Orland Hills
I Love My I-PASS. I also love all your customer service employees. Please keep up the good work! I had a minor problem with my account and the service agent was great. She helped solve the problem and took care of all the details. In an age where it is becoming very difficult to get good customer service I was surprised and very much pleased of my dealing with her and I-PASS.

Larry, Grayslake
Open Road Tolling is great. One of the best things I have recently encountered is the multistate feature of the device. I traveled to North Carolina from Illinois. I-PASS worked on the West Virginia Turnpike! I didn’t need to stop and find cash.

Jackie, Milwaukee
We travel to visit relatives and the ORT has helped so much and made up for the wait during the construction. Quite a beautiful site to behold.

Jeanette, Milwaukee
My husband and I go to Cleveland several times a year and ORT has cut down our travel by more than a half hour. I also work for a company that has a facility in the Schaumburg area, and having the I-PASS saves me time getting there and lots of money too!

Linda, Janesville, WI
I used my I-PASS for the first time going into Chicago. What a time saver! It makes going into Chicago to shop so much quicker and easier. I will be getting more use out of my I-PASS.

Colette, West Chicago
Now with more open road tolling I-PASS is so much more convenient. More convenience and less cost - it's a no brainer.

Barb, Homeworth, Ohio
We moved to Ohio because of my husband's job. We kept all of our IPASS transponders current and love the convenience of being able to travel in PA, WV, VA and NY without stopping to pay tolls. You have saved us MONEY and TIME. Thanks!!

Bill, Edgerton, Ohio
Not only does the I-PASS save on tolls and time, it also saves on fuel costs. I drove all the way through Chicago on I-90 only stopping once to pay a toll. Starting and stopping uses much more fuel. Thanks I-PASS!

B.J., Granger, IN
On my recent trip to New York City, I am very pleased that not only I-PASS saved me at least 20 minutes of waiting on George Washington bridge toll booth, but I was also surprised that I-PASS paid only $4.00 instead of $6.00 toll charge.
I don’t understand why any driver do not obtain I-PASS for the convenience of time and money savings.

Christopher, Elgin
I am a field service engineer and I constantly drive through Chicago almost daily. My I-PASS saves me a lot of time and headache.

Ted, Gurnee
I have enjoyed the ease of using the I-PASS for my everyday commute however I liked it even more since I can now use it on E-ZPass systems. A recent trip to New York State was made easier thanks to an agreement between I-PASS and E-ZPass.

Bren, Glen Ellyn
We are original I-PASS holders. When I-PASS first came it was like wow! No waiting but then we were still getting stuck in traffic. Now we have Open Road Tolling and I tell you it is the best thing that the state of Illinois could've done.

Marie, Burlington, WI
I don't travel to Chicago daily, but fairly often to attend ball games or just to spend a day in the loop. I have already saved 80 dollars in tolls and love just cruising through the I-PASS lanes and Open Road Tolling

Donny, Calumet City
I really love my I-PASS and Open Road Tolling, it is my lifeline going and coming from work. What a great idea. Keep the good work up.

Paul, Oak Lawn
Getting an I-PASS is a no-brainer. Half the price of a regular toll and no stopping or waiting in line. Why wouldn't everyone have one?

Dorothy, Blue Island
I’m a working mother of two little girls so time is precious. These new Open Road Tolling lanes are going to cut my travel time by about 30 minutes each way, which means I’ll have more time to make my kids’ dinner, finish homework, take baths and read bed time stories.

Mark, West Dundee
I already loved my I-PASS, but now that I can use it wherever E-ZPass is accepted I love it even more. I am from the East Coast and travel back to NJ/NY twice a year to visit family. I will definitely use my I-PASS when I am there.

Michael and RoseMary, Wheaton
My wife and I belong to the GWRRA a motorcycle club. I-PASS eliminates the need to remove gloves and fumble around looking for change while holding up traffic. I recommend I-PASS to all motorcycle riders to improve safety and convenience.

Lila, Naperville
I recently moved from Palatine to Naperville and thought it would be a good idea to get an I-PASS. I cannot believe I waited so long -- what was I thinking! What a time and money saver. Go I-PASS!

Daryl, Wyoming, MI
I could not get my job done as quickly as I need to without my I-PASS. Thank you I-PASS!

John, Chicago
When I was growing up, I remember that my grandparents from Lyons kept a little white box-shaped change holder from their bank in the car specifically for tolls. Thanks to I-PASS, not only is my trip through the tolls faster, but one day my grandchildren will remember a little white box of a different type: my I-PASS transponder!

Kathy, Northfield
I do love my I-PASS, but I also think that the up to the minute account information on your Web site is also commendable. I recently received gift cards, however, which must be applied over the phone. While I initially dreaded making the call, I was pleasantly surprised that there was no hassle, no wait, and the operator was efficient and friendly! Thank you!

Barry, Streamwood
I think I-PASS is the only way to go. I love it the most when I use it on my motorcycle.

Franca, Buckley
I’m from a small town downstate but when I got my I-PASS I could run with Chicagoans and felt smart and sassy. Go I-PASS!

Randy, Plainfield
The reason why I love my I-PASS is simple -- less wear and tear on the car, plus it cuts my travel time!

Jill, Cudahy, WI
Thanks for the memories! It is always a pleasure to visit Illinois and the Chicago area in particular. I-PASS makes it even more convenient and hassle-free to travel from Wisconsin.

Jackie, Kenosha, WI
I have had I-PASS for about three years and I love not needing change. Best of all I same time by not waiting in line, cutting my travel time down by 30 minutes.

Frank, Rolling Meadows
I used to avoid traveling the Tollway, especially on weekends, but now after one trip with I-PASS I’m confident that my hassles and stress are less. May the future hold no coin boxes or drivers digging for change and backing traffic up.

Miguel, Cicero
I love my I-PASS because I don’t have to stop in a manual or an automatic lane. Thank You!

Henry, Springfield
I commute to Chicago numerous times a month to visit family and friends. I-PASS has made it very easy to use the Tollway, and not having to wait in line to pay tolls saves a lot of valuable time. Also, I feel that I-PASS provides my family with a safer driving environment by keeping my vehicle in a fairly steady flow of traffic, versus many vehicles unexpectedly changing lanes and the stop and go traffic at tollbooth areas.

Willie, Moline
With I-PASS, I do not have to fumble for correct change or look in my pockets for money. Just not having to stop is great!

Bill, Hawthorn Woods
Everyone likes to complain about governmental waste and inefficiency, but if every part of government worked as well as I-PASS does there would be no complaining. Well done!

Letitia, Melrose Park
My husband travels to Wisconsin for vacations and to visit family and friends and I-PASS makes traveling a breeze. We like the fact that we can even use it when traveling with our boat. I-PASS is the BEST.

Scott, Wyoming, MI
I-PASS makes our trucks flow smoothly through the great state of Illinois. Without an I-PASS my trucks would be stalled on the road and we would lose money, WE ACTUALLY SAVE MONEY BY USING I-PASS!!!

Brian, Grand Island, NE
Although I live in Nebraska, I seem to find myself traveling the Tollway every summer for my job. I-PASS saves me a lot of time and money, never expires, and provides a record for deduction at tax time. I only wish I'd known five years earlier that out-of-staters could get this!

Michael, Homer Glen
Excellent way to zip right through! If only everything were this easy.

Margaret, Elgin
I-PASS is the best invention ever! I drive to work every day on I-88. It's great to cruise through the I-PASS lane. It's made my 30 mile drive from Elgin to Lisle so much easier. Thanks very much, keep up the great work!

Sharon, Aurora
The best part of having an I-PASS is being able to keep my window rolled up in the winter!

Marco, Des Plaines
It's the best thing next to the Chicago Cubs. No more digging between the seats and finding old french fries.

Steve, Elgin
The only thing I don't love about my I-PASS is that I waited so long to get it.

Rosanne, Bristol
About 4 years ago I went to a bank to exchange a $20 bill for quarters I needed for tolls. To my dismay, the bank refused because I didn't have an account there. The very next day I drove to the Downers Grove I-PASS center and signed up. A short while later I walked out with a transponder, all ready to go. Haven't bought a roll of quarters since and never went back to that bank. Now I manage my I-PASS account online. Fast, simple and easy. Thanks I-PASS.

Jeff, Marinette, WI
We live north of Green Bay, WI and have to drive to Midway Airport every two to three weeks. I have had an I-PASS for 3 years now and just love the amount of time and money it now saves. In the past it would take almost 5 hours to get from our home to Midway because of the tolls. Because of I-PASS we have cut almost 45 minutes from the drive. I also love the ability to see online what's left in my account and it gives me a great record of what I have spent the previous month on tolls alone.
