Boycotting the Indiana Toll Road

I do not like the way Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels
and the then, rubber-stamp, Republican Indiana
Legislature, leased the Indiana Toll Road (Interstate
80 and 90 in Indiana) for 75 frellin years to a
private company: ITR Concessions. Nor do I
like the way Mitch Daniels is trying to cram a
privatized Illiana toll road down the throats of
residents either. To protest I am going to...
Boycott the Indiana Toll Road.
I mainly use the toll road to go East to South Bend or on trips to Ohio and the East. Looking at a map, I think I'll use U.S. Hwy 20 which runs roughly parallel to the toll road and appears to intersect the Ohio Turnpike with an interchange about 60 miles into Ohio at Toledo. Boycotting the Indiana Toll Road is about the only way left to show my displeasure with this 75 year privatization deal since it is over and done with, but I sure do not have to give them my money.
If anyone knows of a better route than US 20 that will join me up to the Ohio Turnpike please let me know. You are also welcome to join me in the boycott.
Update: Link to better version of the map.
