Illinois Tollway Considering Higher Tolls

July 8, 2026

The proposal would impact both commercial and passenger vehicles

The Illinois Tollway has proposed raising Illinois tolls across the board for both commercial and passenger vehicles.

Per the proposal, the Tollway would hike passenger tolls by “approximately 45 cents per toll” and commercial rates by 30% on January 1, 2027.

The proposal also calls for inflation adjustments to be incorporated into toll rates every other year, starting in 2029.

The proposed toll increases are part of a “15-year, $26.5 billion commitment to improve traffic, road conditions, and spur economic development, according to the Illinois Tollway.

Comments on the proposal can be submitted to the Illinois Tollway.

The toll increases were authorized by SB 2111, which was passed by the Illinois General Assembly and signed into law by Governor J.B. Pritzker in 2025.
