Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise, part of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), is moving to all-electronic toll collection, with the first implementation on the southern 47 miles of the Turnpike in Miami-Dade County by 2011 and other segments of the Turnpike System to follow. In order to accomplish all-electronic toll collection, the Turnpike is introducing a new electronic toll collection system called Toll-by-Plate. The Toll-by-Plate system works by capturing an image of a vehicle’s license plate and billing the registered owner for the tolls. The Toll-by-Plate program is flexible and allows for customers to either call in and register for a Toll-by-Plate account, or just wait for their bill, which includes an administrative charge, in the mail. Payments can be made with cash, credit, and debit using multiple payment methods including mail, on-line, or through new payment kiosks that will be located at major retailers.
The Turnpike is holding a Toll Rate and Administrative Rule Development Workshop on Tuesday, November 17, 2009, at 6:00 p.m. The Workshop is being held as a statewide electronic webinar, a live presentation over the internet which allows interested persons to attend the meeting from their personal computer. For more information on the webinar please visit: http://www.floridasturnpike.com/all-electronictolling/publicmeeting.html
For those persons without a computer or internet access, several site access locations are provided at various Florida Department of Transportation offices across the state. Please refer to the locations below to find the location nearest you.
Wow, a big change. It seems like a toll system I think I saw in the Punta Cana.
