When you hit the road this week, there's some news to remember.
First, Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise now accepts E-ZPass, allowing drivers to zip down toll highways without slowing for toll booths. That's due to the new SunPass PRO, a portable transponder that can be used everywhere E-ZPass is accepted, including the Interstate 295 Express Lanes in Mandarin and the First Coast Expressway that will ultimately span 46 miles across parts of Duval, Clay and St. Johns counties.
Thirty-five toll agencies in 19 states use E-ZPass, as well as almost 900 miles of Florida’s toll roads. The new SunPass PRO costs $14.95, plus tax. SunPass customers also save almost 25 percent on Florida toll roads compared to Toll-by-plate.
