10/29/2009 Illinois Tollway Board of Directors Meetings Now Available Online via Webcast
DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. – In an effort to provide greater public access to information about the Tollway and its business operations, the Illinois Tollway is providing direct access to its monthly Board of Directors meeting and committee meetings via live Webcasts. This online video broadcast initiative is currently in beta testing, with users encouraged to provide feedback on their experience through the Tollway Web site at www.illinoistollway.com.

Live Webcasts of Tollway Board meetings are available through the Tollway Web site, with availability limited to the first 100 people who sign on. Those who are unable to view the live Webcast will be able to download an audio file of the Webcast three business days following the Board Meeting. Board Meeting minutes also are available after the following month’s Board Meeting. Copies of the Webcast video also will be made available upon request.

“By making Tollway Board of Directors Meetings available to the public online, we are demonstrating our commitment to transparency and accountability to our customers,” said acting Executive Director Michael King. “The Tollway already provides information regarding contracts and expenditures to the public through our Web site in an effort to keep the public informed of how the Tollway conducts business.”

Board meetings are typically held monthly with committee meetings preceding to discuss agenda items in detail.
