Toll-road users saved $470 million in Florida's yearlong credit program

Frequent toll-road users in Florida saved about $470 million in a recently completed, yearlong program that provided credits on their bills.

The Florida Department of Transportation said about 1.2 million Floridians benefited from the program, which provided 50% credits to motorists who made 35 or more toll-road trips a month. Credits were issued monthly.

The program was approved during a special legislative session in December 2022, and the state shifted money from general revenue to the department to cover lost toll revenue. The program ended Sunday.
