Where does Illinois toll money go?
I just moved to Illinois from Oregon and this is my first time encountering toll roads. Where does Illinois toll money go?

Toll money in
Illinois
goes to Illinois Tollway, a user-funded interstate system that receives no state or federal funding for maintenance or operations. Here’s how the Illinois toll revenue was allocated in 2020:- Maintenance and operations: $349 million
- Renewal, replacement, and improvement: $511 million
- Debt service: $423 million
Tolls were originally introduced in Illinois to fund 186 miles of interstate construction and were supposed to be removed once the roads were paid off. However, the tolls were made permanent by the Illinois General Assembly in 1968 and still maintain the interstate today.
I hope this answers your questions!
