Through the end of the year drivers with unpaid roadway tolls in Illinois can wipe out the overdue charges for $3 per toll. State Representative Brad Halbrook (R-Shelbyville) today reminded local motorists that the TOLLING 2020 program that runs through December 30 can save those with unpaid tolls 85% over fines previously assessed on unpaid tolls.
“This is certainly welcome news for some families already facing COVID-related hardships this holiday season. By taking advantage of this amnesty program, previous fines of $20 or even $50 can be erased for a mere $3 per toll,” Rep. Halbrook said.
According to the Illinois Tollway Authority, drivers have already cleared more than 140,000 outstanding violation notices at the reduced $3 rate. Those drivers collectively have received nearly $90 million in relief of fines due to the program.
