Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The registered owner of a vehicle cited by
				the Illinois State Police for traffic violations that pose a significant public
				safety risk occurring within 1/2 mile prior to a toll collection point, at a
				toll collection point, or within 1/2 mile beyond a toll collection point will
				be suspended from the Tollway's I-PASS program for a period of 180 days. The
				I-PASS suspension shall commence no sooner than 30 days after the citation is
				disposed of with a finding of guilty and 10 days after the registered owner is
				supplied a final notice of suspension based on this subsection. The suspension
				shall apply to all I-PASS accounts registered to the owner of the vehicle who
				was the subject of the citation. For purposes of this subsection, traffic
				violations that pose a significant public safety risk shall be limited to
				violations of the following Sections of the Illinois Vehicle Code: Sections
				6-101 (driving without a valid license or permit), 6-303 (driving on suspended
				or revoked license), 6-507 (driving a commercial motor vehicle without a valid
				commercial driver's license), 6-515 (driving under the influence on a CDL),
				11-501 (driving under the influence), 11-502 (open alcohol in vehicle), 11-503
				(reckless driving or aggravated reckless driving), 11-504 (drag racing),
				11-601.5 (driving 40 mph or more over applicable limit), 11-709 (improper lane
				usage), 11-907 (improper operation near emergency vehicle) and 11-908 (improper
				operation near or in a construction or maintenance zone).
b) The author of any check that is returned
				to the Authority unpaid will be subject to a $25 administrative fee. If payment
				in the amount of the check plus the $25 fee is not received from the customer
				within 10 days after final notification that the check has been returned and
				that the administrative fee is being charged, the customer's account will be
				suspended and all transponders assigned to the account will be
				deactivated.
c) I-PASS customers
				who are V-Tolled more than five times in a calendar month on any individual
				license plate registered to a customer's I-PASS or other electronic tolling
				account will be charged the cash toll rate for the sixth and every subsequent
				V-Toll incurred during that month. If the customer's license plate is V-Tolled
				five or fewer times in a calendar month, the account shall be charged the
				discounted I-PASS rate for those V-Tolled transactions. The Tollway shall
				endeavor to provide the I-PASS customer with electronic or robo-call notice
				within 24 hours after the sixth V-Toll transaction.
d) An I-PASS customer whose account balance
				falls below $0 for 30 or more days will be assessed an administrative fee of $5
				if the tolls owed are less than $25. The account holder will be assessed an
				administrative fee of $25 if the amount of the unpaid tolls is $25 or more. If
				the customer fails to pay the unpaid tolls and administrative fee within 21
				days from the date of final notification that his or her account balance is
				insufficient, the customer's account will be suspended and all transponders
				assigned to the account will be deactivated.
e) Final notices of fees due or I-PASS
				account suspensions issued under this Section shall be considered final
				administrative orders of the Authority subject to judicial review in accordance
				with the Illinois Administrative Review Law [ 735 ILCS 5 /Art. III].
