Illinois hikes car title fees to fund bike trails and tire cleanup
Gov. James R. Thompson signed two bills increasing annual title fees from 3 to 5 dollars to generate about 7 million dollars yearly for expanding bicycle paths and tire recycling programs. The measures create a steady funding source for the Conservation Department’s trail system and authorize grants to communities while addressing tire waste and environmental concerns. The act takes effect January 1, with immediate startup funding of 1 million dollars and a plan to seek fall session clarifications. Big Bluestem named official Illinois prairie grass.
