Illinois notes
JoePCool14:
Good for them (and you, right? Don't you work for the county?). Nice to see another county around here take signing their roads more seriously.

Illinois is looking to switch the IPass from transponders to stickers. I hope not! I’ve rented several cars and it’s always convenient to move my transponder to my rental car and have done it a lot out east. The sticker wouldn’t allow me to do that. Article below:

I'm already to the point that, if I do end up needing to drive back to Chicagoland for whatever reason, I've decided to simply avoid all the toll roads completely. Unless I-PASS becomes interoperable with PIKEPASS, it's just not worth the hassle to me.

The IPass is interoperable with EZ pass and all states east of the Mississippi. I’ve used it in multiple states and brought it with me to rental cars in other eastern states. That’s why the transponder is so convenient.

I would just apply the sticker to a clear plastic laminate with the same suction cups the transponders have, take the sticker with me anywhere I go by attaching it to the windshield.
Seems easy to me.
In fact to keep it from getting scratched, place it between 2 plastic laminates with one of them having the suction cups. It's an RF tag, so as long as the radio emission can pass through it, you should be good.
Sounds like an Amazon opportunity to me selling the laminate gizmos to hold the sticker in place.
