Tampa Bay Commuters May Get Rebate On Toll Roads
If you’re a regular user of Florida’s toll roads, there may be some money coming back to you.
We have a few toll roads in the Tampa Bay area. Commuters who drive on toll roads regularly know how much that can rack up in fees. The state is doing something to help.
The Florida Department of Transportation released a press release explaining the program:
The toll relief program will give customers with at least 40 paid transactions a month a 20% credit to their SunPass account. Customers with 80 or more paid transactions will receive a 25% credit each month. On average, customers using FDOT Turnpike facilities for their daily commute spend $50 per month on tolls.
This program could save the average commuter $60 over the next six months, and commuters with more transactions will increase their savings. A map of included toll facilities and more information on the program can be found here.
The program begins September 1, 2022, and will run for 6 months. The FDOT expects the program to provide $38 million in relief.
