We understand that mistakes happen. At times, customers who pay cash may find themselves in an unattended toll plaza lane or in an I-PASS Only lane. If this happens, continue driving forward. Do not back up at any time--it is unsafe. Make note of your location by identifying the toll plaza name or number or the nearest milepost.  You will be required to identify the unpaid toll location when submitting your payment. Be sure to go online or pay by mail within the 7-day grace period.*

Payments can be made online or by mail, though online payment is recommended because it provides a record of transmission within the 7-day grace period.

If you live outside the United States you must pay an unpaid toll by mail.

Missed the 7-day Grace Period?

  • The unpaid toll has now become a violation.
  • Violation notices are issued when 3 or more unpaid tolls are recorded over a 24-month period. Fines will be assessed.
  • Payment after the 7-day grace period does not remove the toll from violation status.

To the extent allowable by the laws of your state, failure to pay tolls or satisfy any fine or penalty imposed by the Tollway may result in suspending the driving privileges, vehicle registration or both, of the person failing to satisy the fines or penalties and other sanctions as provided by law.

I-PASS Customers

Please note: If you have a valid I-PASS account and the car you are driving is registered to that account, do not pay an unpaid toll. The toll will be processed to your account as a Vtoll.*
