Gov. Ron DeSantis announced this week that he is extending the Toll Relief Program for commuting families for a second year.
The program provides a 50 percent credit to drivers using Florida-based toll transponders who have 35 or more toll transactions per month.
For local drivers, toll roads eligible for the savings including Florida’s Turnpike, Osceola Parkway, Poinciana Parkway, State Roads 417 and 429 and the I-4 Express lanes.
“I am pleased to have secured an additional $450 million for toll relief in Florida that will alleviate costs on our commuting families,” DeSantis said. “Florida is committed to good fiscal governance, and I am committed to returning our surpluses back to the taxpayers in the form of tax breaks and toll savings.”
The program, which now is funded through March 2025, saved more than 1.2 million Florida drivers approximately $500 million in tolls during the 2023 program.
“Florida families grappling with persistent inflation due to the Biden administration’s harmful economic policies can rest assured that we are doing all we can to support Floridians, including another historic year of toll relief,” said Lt. Governor Jeanette Nuñez. “Our toll relief program provides meaningful cost savings to frequent commuters who rely on our toll roads to provide for their families.”
Drivers looking to take advantage of this program do not need to sign up—toll agency like SunPass and E-Pass will provide customers with a credit directly to their toll account for each month they qualify.
