Ind. Toll Road raises rates; transponders exempt

GRANGER — Rates on the Indiana Toll Road have gone up, but not for motorists with E-ZPass-compatible transponders.

Rates went up Friday. The cost for most passenger vehicles without transponders now is $9 for the entire 157-mile trip across northern Indiana. That's an increase of 20 cents over the previous rates. Those with transponders pay $4.65.

E-ZPass-compatible transponders include Indiana's i-Zoom, the I-PASS from Illinois and the E-ZPass from Ohio. Those devices are locked into the same rate through 2016.

WNDU-TV reports the privately run toll road's oversight board recently gave final approval to the rate increase.
