HOUSE RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, Everyday, thousands of people in Illinois depend on the Illinois Toll Highway for reliable transportation; and

WHEREAS, The Illinois Tollway Authority should look for any additional revenue sources for the continued operations of the Illinois Toll Highway without raising tolls on users; and

RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NINETY-SIXTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we urge the Illinois Toll Highway Authority to immediately begin a study to determine the feasibility of renting out toll plaza sign space to advertisers to offset the cost of the tollways; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be presented to the director of the Illinois Toll Highway Authority.
