Over 1 million drivers in Florida have been given a collective $112 million in toll credits since January according to the Florida Department of Transportation's (FDOT) monthly report.
Launched on January 1, 2023, the Toll Relief Program gives eligible drivers a 50% credit toward future toll expenses. Drivers must accumulate 35 toll transactions per month to be eligible for the program.
In March, $41.5 million worth of credits were posted to 1 million driver's accounts. Since January 1, $112 million in Toll Relief credits have been issued to a total of 1.2 million customers.
“With a savings of $112 million received so far, Florida families are seeing real assistance from the Toll Relief program every month,” said FDOT's Secretary Jared W. Perdue, P.E.
“In just the first three months, the Toll Relief Program has been extremely successful in helping to ease the financial burden on Florida’s families,” Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise Executive Director and CEO, Nicola Liquori said.
The program will run through December 31, 2023, and aims to provide an average of 1.2 million drivers with savings of nearly $480 over the course of the year.
