All-Electronic Tolling ... How It Works

Florida’s Turnpike relies on the most advanced equipment to collect tolls electronically from SunPass and TOLL-BY-PLATE customers. Sensors determine the number of axles on the vehicle and what toll rate should be charged. Whether a car is traveling at night, at very high speeds, changing lanes or under adverse weather conditions, the cameras easily capture an image of the license plate. SunPass readers determine whether the vehicle is equipped with a transponder and deduct the correct toll amount from the customer’s account.
