How Tolls Are Calculated
Tolls for trucks and cars are
calculated by distance traveled. The foundation is a
standard per mile charge for each road. Therefore, rates are
higher when plazas are further apart.
Toll Rates Vary By Plaza
- The average plaza rate for large trucks is about $3.50 peak/$2.65
off-peak
- The plazas that carry 73 percent of truck traffic have rates of $4
for large trucks (medium $2.25/small $1.50) or below
- While toll rates exceed the typical mainline toll plaza at 6 ramp plazas,
toll rates are lower than the typical mainline plaza rate at 34 ramp
toll plazas and go as low as $1.50 for large
trucks

Trucks Save Money with I-PASS
I-PASS already reducing trip times
- Commercial vehicle operators who currently use I-PASS
are reducing their travel time by up to 20 minutes for a round trip, using a
trip on I-294 between Indiana and Wisconsin as an example.
- By spending less time on the road in traffic,
truckers can spend less on fueling and operating their rigs.
- Truckers save $25 for every 15-minute reduction in
trip time, (The Midwest Truckers Association). For example, truckers can
save as much as $333 per month if they take 10 round trips using I-PASS on
the full length of the Tri-State Tollway (I-94/294).
- Savings due to less wear and tear on vehicles (engines, tires etc.) due
to harsh braking and acceleration.
Trucks save through the Tollway’s Congestion-Relief Program, Open Roads for a Faster Future. We are dedicated to reduce your travel times by:
- Rebuilding and/or Restoring nearly the entire 286-mile toll highway system.
- Widening many miles of major tollroads.
- Opening 22 barrier toll plazas to Open Road Tolling.
- Extending the Veterans Memorial Tollway (I-355) from I-55 through Will County to I-80.

Where can truckers get I-PASS?

northwest Indiana and southern Wisconsin (Road Ranger only accepts cash for I-PASS purchases).*
*Smaller trucks (those with 2 axles and six tires, or 3-4 axles) can only get
I-PASS online, by phone or at CCC
