How Much Has The Toll Relief Program Saved Floridians

Firstly, the Toll Relief Program automatically gives frequent users with at least 35 monthly toll transactions a 50 percent toll credit to their account. Secondly, the program started on January 1st and runs through December 31. Finally, at the end of July the program has saved Floridians more than $227 million. β€œThe Toll Relief Program has made it a little easier for commuters as they travel to do business, spend time with family and friends, and enjoy all that Florida has to offer,” said Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise Executive Director and CEO Nicola Liquori.Β β€œThe Toll Relief Program allows us to give back to our loyal customers and thank them for their continued support.Β Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise is proud to offer this additional cost saving benefit.”
