Illinois State Toll Highway Authority

The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (ISTHA) manages and operates the Illinois Tollway system, which includes major toll roads around Chicago. It funds road maintenance, improvements, and operations through toll collections from drivers. The Authority oversees the way tolls are set and collected, ensuring efficient and safe travel for commuters and freight. It also invests in technology like electronic tolling (e.g., I-PASS) to streamline the process. ISTHA's goal is to provide reliable, accessible, and well-maintained toll highway infrastructure for Illinois residents and visitors.
