The Florida Department of Transportation (Department) is proposing changes to Rule 14-15.0081, F.A.C., Toll Facilities Description and Toll Rate Schedule. Pursuant to Section 338.165(3), F.S., the Department is implementing indexing of base toll rates for all Department toll facilities, including Florida Turnpike System toll facilities. The rule is being substantially changed to include an initial increase of cash toll rates based on indexing, an adjustment of SunPass and TOLL-BY-PLATE toll rates based on the indexed cash toll rates and a methodology for indexing of toll rates in future years. Also, the method of calculating the multi-axle rates from the two-axle rate on the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and the Pinellas Bayway is being amended to equal the number of axles of each vehicle minus one, multiplied by the two-axle toll rate. In addition, toll rates for the I-4/Selmon Expressway Interchange (Connector) in Hillsborough County are being fixed as an all-electronic toll facility as part of the Florida Turnpike System. Indexing of toll rates on the Connector will start on the July 1st after one full year of operation, which is expected to open in summer of 2013.
