Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) expressways are a vital part of the transportation infrastructure in our community. These critical corridors, such as SR 408, are 100% funded by revenues from toll collections – not state or federal taxes. CFX is legally required to collect tolls and bound by our responsibility as essential infrastructure to continue operations. Only the Governor of Florida can suspend tolls, and, unlike in times of large-scale evacuations when tolls are suspended to alleviate increased traffic congestion, traffic has currently lessened and drivers can choose to take tolled or non-tolled roads to safely reach their destination.

Cash collection will resume at 1 a.m. on Monday, June 1, 2020.

Effective March 19th, CFX temporarily closed in lane staffed toll booths for cash collection of tolls, and shifting to license plate tolling to reduce the potential exposure of both drivers and employees to the COVID-19 virus.

Cash paying drivers, who normally pay at the toll booth, will continue to pay the cash rate and will receive a bill called a Pay by Plate statement in the mail for tolls incurred through May 31, 2020. No additional fees will be incurred for toll billing during this temporary suspension.

For drivers who typically pay cash in the lanes:
• Keep moving and do not stop at toll booths
• Drivers will be charged the same cash-rate
• Expect a Pay by Plate billing statement to be mailed to the vehicles’ registered owner for tolls, with no additional fees or administrative charges. Drivers are encouraged to make sure their mailing address is up to date with the Department of Motor Vehicles.

E-PASS customers will see no impact to their day-to-day travel. Tolls will post electronically to their accounts, per usual operations. To always pay the lowest toll rate and manage tolls online, get a free E-PASS sticker.

Yes, the coin machines will still work. You should not receive an invoice for the paid toll.

No. The walk-in E-PASS Customer Service Center located at 762 S. Goldenrod Road is temporarily closed beginning Wednesday, March 18 at 6 p.m. CFX will keep this website updated with the most up-to-date hours of operation.

Yes. However, as of Thursday, March 19, 2020, CFX has temporarily extended the operating hours of the E-PASS Customer Service call center reducing the number of representatives in the call center at one time. They will be available to answer calls from 8 a.m.-10 p.m, Monday-Friday. You may experience longer wait times during peak hours due to staffing adjustments to follow CDC guidelines for limiting social interaction.

Customers are strongly encouraged to manage their accounts online or by downloading the new E-PASS app on their mobile device. These digital platforms provide all of the E-PASS customer account tools needed.

CFX Headquarters remains open to allow essential staff to access the building as needed. However, as of March 23, CFX Headquarters closed the building to members of the public until further notice. Future Governing Board and other committee meetings will occur virtually – the public will be invited to participate and comment at these meetings. Details to follow.

CFX is temporarily postponing project public information meetings planned for March and April. We will continue to monitor the situation in case further cancellations and postponements become necessary.

Yes, CFX has continued procurements but is using technology to limit public gatherings during procurement meetings in which staff will be deliberating between various proposals. As permitted by law, staff will still assemble to make determinations and those meetings will be recorded. In some instances, a conference call number will be provided for those that want to listen to any such deliberations. This is a temporary measure to ensure that CFX complies with the President’s order to limit gatherings to less than 10 individuals.

As for any procurement items that will require live presentations, participants will be limited in the number of individuals that can present so that the staff members and participants do not exceed ten in a room at any time during the presentation. Since there are limited number of such instances, procurement will be coordinating with individual vendors and taking extra precautions to insure the safety of all involved.
