Florida's Toll Relief Program has resulted in substantial savings for frequent toll road users during its initial four months. Since April, the program has issued over $164.5 million in credits, aiding 1.2 million customers each month. In July alone, account credits amounted to $41.1 million.
"The Toll Relief Program offers FDOT a chance to provide commuters, small business owners, and other frequent travelers with relief in a time when prices on everything else are rising," stated FDOT Secretary Jared W. Perdue, P.E. He expressed gratitude towards Governor DeSantis for reinstating the program for another year.
This initiative aims to lower toll expenses for regular travelers in Florida, easing commuting costs and supporting residents' economic well-being. SunPass customers with at least 35 monthly transactions automatically receive a 50% credit under this program from April 2024 through March 2025.
Governor DeSantis had previously committed to financial relief for Floridians through a one-year toll relief program following the success of the SunPass Savings initiative in 2022. The previous year's Toll Relief Program provided around $470 million in credits, benefiting approximately 1.2 million residents with an average saving of nearly $400 each.
The Florida Turnpike Enterprise administers the current Toll Relief Program along with SunPass and other state tolling agencies. Customers should ensure their transponder is correctly mounted and their account is active to benefit from this program.
SunPass operates as the state's Prepaid Electronic Toll Collection Program managed by the Enterprise. More information can be found at SunPass.com or by calling 1-888-TOLL-FLA (1-888-865-5352).
