  • Illinois Route 390 Tollway Q&A
    Illinois Route 390 Tollway Q&A June 2016 What is cashless tolling? The Illinois Route 390 Tollway is the first all-electronic toll road on the Illinois Tollway system. Cashless tolling provides all customers – residents, businesses and visitors – with continuous travel at highway speeds throughout the Tollway. Toll collection equipment over the traffic lanes reads the I‐PASS transponder mounted on the windshield and automatically collects tolls. No tollbooths or cash baskets are available on the Illinois Route 390 Tollway. Why is this a cashless Tollway? All-electronic tolling is safer, more convenient and provides for cost savings. Which means there are no tollbooths or cash baskets available. Benefits of cashless tolling include: • Savings – Save money on tolls using I‐PASS (50 percent off for passenger vehicles and 33 percent off for trucks), reduce fuel consumption by eliminating stop‐and‐go driving and save money on gas • Convenience – Eliminate the need to make a decision at toll collection points • Safety – Don’t need to slow down, change lanes or stop to pay • Environment – Traffic noise and emissions are reduced through elimination of stopping at intersections A previous survey indicated that 90 percent of drivers currently traveling in project area have I-PASS, and of those without I‐PASS, nearly one quarter indicated that they would obtain one to use the new roadway once it opens. A previous survey indicated that 90 percent of drivers currently traveling in project area have I-PASS, and of those without I‐PASS, nearly one quarter indicated that they would obtain one to use the new roadway once it opens.

  • Project Status
    Major Capital Projects Quarterly Update September 2014 ILLINOIS 53/120 TOLLWAY Project Status: Following the recommendations of the Illinois Route 53/120 Blue Ribbon Advisory Council, the Tollway has embarked upon a detailed engineering concept, including cost estimates and refinement of traffic and revenue projections. A Finance Committee has been formed to continue to refine project financing. In addition, CMAP is leading a corridor land use plan, in coordination with the Tollway, Lake County, municipalities, and other stakeholders in the area. Project Website: http://www.illinoistollway.com/construction-and-planning/community- outreach/illinois-route-53-120-blue-ribbon-advisory-council Overall Progress since Last Report: The Tollway’s Finance Committee held two meetings discussing potential local contributions. The Finance Committee also convened three working groups to discuss specific aspects of local contribution, including the Environmental Stewardship Fund, value capture, and a motor fuel tax (MFT) and tolling discussion group. These working groups have outlined a plan that includes revenues from value capture, a county MFT, and congestion pricing and increased tolling. However, no formal recommendations have been made. The Tollway has continued to refine cost estimates for the environmental improvements related to the facility. CMAP’s Contribution since Last Report (if applicable): CMAP has continued to coordinate closely with the Tollway and Lake County on the next phase of the planning work. CMAP provided analysis of value capture funding scenarios for the Value Capture Working Group of the Finance Committee. CMAP’s Corridor Land Use study is ongoing. Staff and consultants have drafted an Existing Conditions Analysis based on substantive data collection and stakeholder interviews, with a release of the document for public comment slated for later this fall.

  • News Release
    NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release: April 30, 2007 Contact: Steve Pustelnyk 512-996-9778 (office) 512-680-9997 (cell) TxTag Customers Get a Free Ride on 183A in May (Cedar Park, Texas) – The Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority is offering drivers the chance to extend their free ride on the new 183A toll road. When tolls take effect May 1, drivers with a funded TxTag account can continue to drive for free in May and will get 50% off in June. A permanent 10% discount for TxTag customers will take effect July 1. The $238 million 183A project has been a huge success since opening to traffic on March 3, 2007. During the first two months of operation, drivers have been getting the chance to try out the road for free, and the Mobility Authority has been registering more than 90,000 transactions a day, exceeding projections by more than 365%. “We have received a lot of positive feedback from customers who say they are saving as much as 30 minutes on their commute by using 183A,” said Steve Pustelnyk, Director of Communications for the Mobility Authority. “Reports indicate that traffic choked US 183 has been flowing much more smoothly since 183A opened.” A portion of 183A near Lakeline Mall features an all-electronic TxTag toll plaza where cash will not be accepted. In order to use that section of 183A, drivers will need to have a TxTag before tolls take effect on May 1. To make it as easy as possible to get TxTag, the Mobility Authority is sponsoring a number of special sign-up activities along the 183A corridor.

    NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release: October 5, 2007 Contact: Steve Pustelnyk 512-996-9778 (office) 512-680-9997 (cell) Study Shows 183A Toll Road Benefits All Drivers (Austin, Texas) – A study commissioned by the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority has found the 183A toll road is creating significant time savings for all drivers, whether they use 183A or not. The study also found significant reductions in traffic on non-tolled roads, including US 183 and Parmer Lane. In 2004, the average morning rush hour drive time on the non-tolled US 183 from the San Gabriel River to RM 620 near Lakeline Mall was 36 minutes. Today, this same trip takes just 19 minutes, a reduction of nearly 50%. Drivers using the 183A toll road save even more time, cutting the previously 36-minute trip to just 13 minutes, a time savings of more than 60% over 2004. These improvements come despite significant economic growth in the area. For example, the population of Leander has nearly doubled since 2003, rising from 13,846 residents to 26,000. The study also examined how 183A has impacted actual traffic volumes. On US 183, traffic has been reduced by as much as 27% since 183A opened. On Parmer Lane/Ronald Reagan Boulevard, traffic has decreased by as much as 29%. More than 25,000 vehicles each day have switched from those previously traveled roadways to the 183A toll road, improving mobility for everyone in the region. “This data proves that toll roads benefit everyone in the community,” says Mike Heiligenstein Executive Director of the Mobility Authority.
