Is improved driving the only benefit of Open Road Tolling?
No. ORT allows us to collect funds from all users of MDX expressways to be able to fund roadway improvements, maintenance, operations, and expansion of the system without having to build more toll plazas or increasing tolls. This will provide a better quality of life for residents in our community by giving them a better expressway system that will save time, generate jobs and aid in the economic development of our region. ORT is also good news for commerce in and around South Florida because it greatly enhances the flow of goods and services on our highways. From trucks to taxis, it’s keeping business on the move. Plus, ORT is a greener solution, because with open road tolling cars will no longer be idling in line at conventional tollbooths. ORT helps you enjoy money-saving fuel efficiency, and it improves air quality by decreasing carbon monoxide and other emissions created by congestion on our highways.
