For the second year in a row, the ITR Concession Co., which operates the Indiana Toll Road, will donate a portion of every toll paid on Saturday, July 4 to the Indiana National Guard Relief Fund.

More than 75,000 vehicles are expected to travel on the Indiana Toll Road on Independence Day. The ITRCC’s goal is a $10,000 donation to the Fund.

“July 4th is a time to celebrate with friends and families,” ITRCC CEO Fernando Redondo said, “and in honor of Indiana’s service members who must be away from their loved ones on this occasion, every vehicle that travels on the Indiana Toll Road will help contribute to the Relief Fund.

Since 2003, the Indiana National Guard Relief Fund has provided financial grants to the men and women of the Indiana National Guard and their families who are challenged by financial hardships because soldiers are on duty away from home, according to Maj. Gen. R. Martin Umbarger, the adjutant general of the Indiana National Guard.

“We are grateful that the administration and staff at the Indiana Toll Road would choose to honor Indiana National Guard servicemen and women and their loved ones in this manner,” Umbarger said. “We are deeply appreciative of the ITRCC and all those who travel this highway.”
