Whereas cash users are not entitled to any such presumption due to a lack of verifiable payment histories. So, what is the rationale for less-than-standard treatment of similarly situated toll violators? Perhaps it is that transponder users are presumed to want to pay tolls, in the absence of countervailing evidence, based on their past payment histories. The second possibility, which applies to toll violators with electronic payment transponders, is that there will be no consequences. The first possibility, which applies to most Illinois toll violators, is that some penalty will be imposed. In addition, depending upon drivers’ usual method of payment, there also may be differential treatment of violations. Examples include the Traffic Ticket Exemption, the Video Tolling (“V-Toll”) Subsidy and the 50 Percent Toll Rate Discount. Such an assumption, however, is only partly true due to overly forgiving Illinois state policies. It is commonly assumed that any toll violation, i.e., any failure to pay, results in a traffic ticket, administrative fees and state-imposed sanctions. In Illinois, every single toll is a function of three factors: vehicle characteristics, tollway entry point, and how far a driver goes on state-administered roads. This base is made up of drivers that pay user fees, in cash or via electronic transponder, in exchange for access to state-administered roads.
