14-15.0081: Toll Facilities Description and Toll Rate Schedule
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Florida Department of Transportation, Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise is proposing to convert the existing NW 106th Interchange located on the Homestead Extension of Florida’s Turnpike (HEFT) at MP 34 to a SunPass-Only interchange. Tolls at this interchange are currently collected using either SunPass or cash collection methods. The project is located in Miami-Dade County. Tolls are proposed to be collected from vehicles accessing to and from the north. Section 338.155(1), Florida Statutes, does not permit the use of the State’s toll facilities without paying a toll. The existing cash rate for payment of the toll at this interchange is being deleted from the Toll Rate Schedule. The SunPass rate for payment of the toll at this interchange is not being changed by this amendment. A rule development workshop, if requested will provide an opportunity to notify the public about the proposed conversion of the existing NW 106th/HEFT interchange from SunPass and cash collection to a SunPass-only collection facility.
