cfpublic.org - April 9, 2025 - Late-night and early-morning travelers will soon no longer have the option to pay tolls in cash on frequently traveled toll roads in Central Florida.

As a part of the Central Florida Expressway Authority’s initiative to go completely cashless by the end of the year, cash-accepting toll booths will be closed between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. starting April 22.

The expressway authority said this step is to further a “smoother and more efficient” system. Drivers are encouraged to adopt electronic payment methods, such as pay-by-plate, SunPass, or E-Pass. Read more >>

NewJerseyGlobe.com - April 8, 2025 - A Republican legislator on Monday called for hearings about a controversial E-ZPass contract with a company that some believe has ties with the Chinese government.
