Florida’s Toll Relief Program Delivers Significant Savings in First Four Months
Customer credits total over $164.5 million
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida’s Toll Relief Program, a key initiative aimed at providing financial relief to frequent toll road users, has already delivered substantial savings in its first four months of operation. Since the program’s inception in April, more than $164.5 million in Toll Relief credits have been issued, benefiting 1.2 million customers monthly. For the month of July, customers received account credits totaling $41.1 million.
“The Toll Relief Program offers FDOT a chance to provide commuters, small business owners, and other frequent travelers with relief in a time when prices on everything else are rising,” said FDOT Secretary Jared W. Perdue, P.E. “Thank you Governor DeSantis for your leadership in bringing this highly successful program back for another year.”
The Toll Relief Program was designed to reduce toll expenses for the state’s frequent travelers, helping to alleviate the cost of commuting and support the economic well-being of Florida's residents.
The program automatically gives SunPass customers with at least 35 monthly toll transactions a 50 % credit to their account and runs from April 2024 through March 2025. SunPass customers already save an average of 25 % on tolls, the Toll Relief Program provides drivers with another way to save.
Following the success of the SunPass Savings program in 2022, Governor DeSantis committed to providing financial relief for Florida’s families by establishing a one-year toll relief program. The 2023 Toll Relief Program credited customers approximately $470 million, benefiting 1.2 million Floridians with an average savings of nearly $400 each. Earlier this year, Governor DeSantis and the Florida Legislature extended the program, reaffirming their commitment to serving Florida drivers.
The Toll Relief Program is administered by Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise and includes SunPass as well as other Florida-based tolling agency partners throughout the state. Customers are encouraged to ensure their transponder is properly mounted in the vehicle and their account is in good standing to participate in the program.
SunPass is the Prepaid Electronic Toll Collection Program operated by the Enterprise, the toll agency for the state. To learn more about SunPass, please visit SunPass.com or call 1-888-TOLL-FLA (1-888-865-5352).
