About 70 percent of all electronic transactions on the ITR are done with I-PASS transponders, according to Tollway Authority figures. Each state charges the other a transaction fee when the out-of-state transponder is used to pay a toll. Ĭontroversy surrounds the reciprocal use of I-PASS by Illinois motorists and I-Zoom by Indiana motorists on the other state's toll road. The discounts to I-Pass users is subsidized by the State of Indiana rather than by the ITR's operator. Toll discounts are currently not offered with electronic tolling on the Skyway. Currently, the Indiana Toll Road and the ISTHA have a reciprocal agreement where holders of either the i-Zoom or I-Pass receive a discount on tolls in either state, as well as E-ZPass users, and it is likewise the case between the ITR and Ohio Turnpike Commission. I-Zoom is compatible with both the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority's I-Pass system and the E-ZPass system used in the Northeastern United States, along with the neighboring Ohio Turnpike, which opened their E-ZPass system at the beginning of September 2009. i-Zoom transponders were then made available for purchase at service plazas, along with CVS/pharmacy locations in northern Indiana. After a lengthy delay, the remaining toll plazas came online on Apin conjunction with increased cash toll rates. On June 27, 2007, the system was implemented from mile 1 to mile 23 of the road. I-Zoom is the electronic toll collection system currently used by the Indiana Toll Road (ITR), and is also usable on the ITR's adjacent sister road, the Chicago Skyway.
