State Sen. Dave Syverson (R-Cherry Valley) and State Rep. Joe Sosnowski (R-Rockford) are partnering with the Illinois Tollway on Sept. 26 in Belvidere to assist motorists in updating their I-PASS technology to the new Sticker Tags, which are replacing plastic transponders.

An I-PASS ON DEMAND event is scheduled from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., Sept. 26 at the Community Building Complex of Boone County, located at 111 W. First Street in Belvidere. Participants are reminded to bring their driver’s licenses and license plate numbers for presentation to Illinois Tollway officials. Attendees should also be prepared for potential wait times.

Illinois Tollway officials will assist individuals in transferring to the new sticker technology without disrupting their I-PASS account activity. Officials will also address questions regarding I-PASS accounts and "Pay by Plate" issues.

Once activated, the Sticker Tag can be used on the Illinois Tollway and on E-Z Pass roadways in other states within 24 hours of activation. No deposit is required for the Sticker Tag, and the $10 transponder deposit will transfer to the new account upon activation.

For more information about these events, contact Sen. Syverson’s office at (815) 987-7555.
