If the increase goes through, I-PASS holders will see their rates nearly double, in the first rate hike they've seen since 1983. The basic rate will jump by 35 cents, from $0.40 to $0.75; those paying cash will continue to pay twice the I-PASS rates, meaning they'll face an average hike of 70 cents.
