the Illinois I-pass will automatically replenish itself when the balance reaches a pre-determined level.
Sorry, I should have clarified -- I'm sure they all have that feature, but as I discovered, Delaware (at least) had a bug in their program, as of a couple of years ago. If you burned through all of your balance in a day (not hard to do on turnpikes) and went to a negative balance, the system got confused and cut you (me) off. I couldn't figure out why they didn't just automatically replenish it, but the system wasn't coded right to do that. I tried to explain that to the rep I talked to on the phone, but they didn't get it (or couldn't fix it), so I had to go online and make a manual payment. As long as you don't go negative, it adjusts for greater use, by taking bigger automatic replenishments.
