Reassignment of Illinois Tollway Violations

To reassign violations you must own the vehicle.

In order to ensure compliance with Section 10(a-5) of the Toll Highway Act, 605 ILCS 10/10 (a-5), the Tollway will only reassign violations:

  1. For commercial entities in the business of leasing and/or renting vehicles, which the commercial entity owns, to other parties.
  2. If the rental/leasing agreement(s) for your company contain a provision advising the customer that they will be responsible, for payment to the issuing agency, for tolls and fines.
More Information

605 ILCS 10/10 (a-5) No commercial entity that is the lessor of a vehicle under a written lease agreement shall be liable for an administrative notice of violation for toll evasion issued under this subsection (a-5) involving that vehicle during the period of the lease if the lessor provides a copy of the leasing agreement to the Authority within 21 days of the issue date on the notice of violation.

The leasing agreement also must contain a provision or addendum informing the lessee that the lessee is liable for payment of all tolls and any fines for toll evasion. Each entity must also post a sign at the leasing counter notifying the lessee of that liability.

The copy of the leasing agreement provided to the Authority must contain the name, address, and driver's license number of the lessee, as well as the check-out and return dates and times of the vehicle and the vehicle license plate number and vehicle make and model. The statute covers any type of vehicle leasing company truck or car rental.
