(The Center Square) – While Illinois contemplates raising prices on tollways across the state, one state lawmaker wants increased transparency for drivers. State Rep. Martin McLaughlin, R-Barrington Hills, announced he plans to introduce the “Truth in Toll Transparency Act,” which he said will give drivers on Illinois tollways a more advanced warning of the cost to enter a toll. “You will see a sign that says ‘toll ahead’ or ‘paid toll,’ but it does not define what the cost of that toll is going to be on the majority of tollways,” McLaughlin said. McLaughlin noted he doesn’t feel proposed toll increases, which are set to be voted on by Illinois Tollway officials in the coming months, are necessary right now. The proposed toll hike is part of Illinois Tollway’s $26.5 billion capital program aimed at strengthening maintenance in improving traffic conditions over the next 15 years, according to announcements by the board.
