The Floridant/10222937

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. ~ In December 2022, Governor Ron DeSantis signed the Toll Relief Program into law, providing relief to Florida commuters. The program concluded its first month of toll relief in January, resulting in nearly $37 million in savings for over 1.1 million SunPass customers.

The Toll Relief Program was proposed by Governor DeSantis in September 2022 and passed during the Legislative Special Session in December. It builds on the successful SunPass Savings Program that concluded in December 2022 and resulted in 384,000 drivers saving over $18 million.

"During a time of persistently high inflation, this toll program represents important relief for Florida commuters," said Governor DeSantis. "I am proud to have signed this program into law, saving Floridians nearly $37 million in its first month that they can now use to support their families."

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 with at least 35 monthly toll transactions receive a 50 percent credit to their account automatically. The program is expected to provide an average of 1.2 million drivers savings of nearly $480 over the course of the year until it ends on December 31, 2023.
