Illinois toll system changes...! To Wisconsin Snobirds:The Illinois toll system no longer has manned toll booths. All tolls must be paid electronically. To avoid having to wait for a bill to come through every time you go through a toll booth, the following is information on how to set a pay-by plate account for the Interstate tolls for the duration of your vacation. This is a FYI from the state of Illinois: set up pay-by-plate for Illinoise state toll system https://www.illinoistollway.com/paybyplate
