Discount for frequent toll road users ending
The State of Florida’s Toll Relief Program is set to expire on Monday after saving drivers a total of nearly $1 billion over the past two years. FOX 13’s Kellie Cowan reports.
TAMPA, Fla. - A program giving many Florida drivers a big discount is coming to an end on Monday.
What is the Toll Relief Program?
By the numbers:
Under Florida's Toll Relief Program, the state has been giving a 50% credit to drivers with 35 or more toll transactions in a single month.

Over the past two years, the program has saved a total of nearly $1 billion for 1.2 million drivers – an average of about $400 per year, per person.
What's next:
Barring a last-minute intervention, the discount will go away starting in April.
Gov. Ron DeSantis could announce an extension if he's able to secure more funding, but the Governor's Office has not said whether he plans to do that.
