OUR SYSTEM
The Expressway Authority operates a 105-mile transportation network that provides safer, more convenient travel alternatives to help Central Floridians meet the growing needs of their busy daily lives.
The Expressway Authority was the first to bring Electronic Toll Collection to Florida with the inception of E-PASS in 1994. Today, there are more than 500,000 E-PASS transponders in use. By the end of 2009 all but one of the 13 mainline toll plazas will operate with Express Lanes, which allow customers to pay their tolls at the posted highway speed and to keep traffic moving.
The Expressway Authority is responsible for the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of State Road 408 (Spessard Lindsay Holland East-West Expressway) and State Road 414 (John Land Apopka Expressway), as well as major portions of SR 528 (Martin B. Andersen Beachline Expressway), SR 417 (Central Florida GreeneWay), and SR 429 (Daniel Webster Western Beltway).
The agency, established in 1963 by the state legislature, continues to expand the system to meet the increased travel demands stemming from the area's rapid growth over the years.
Over the next five years, the Expressway Authority plans to invest more than $1 billion into making much-needed transportation improvements around metropolitan Orlando. For years the Authority's work program in Orange County has eclipsed the amounts spent by state and local governments combined, and that trend is expected to continue.
