Starting Monday, May 23, drivers will see a $0.50 toll for use of the Managed Lanes during peak hours. Vehicles without a SunPass or interoperable transponder that use the Managed Lanes will face a $25 toll violation, as TOLL-BY-PLATE is not accepted in the Managed Lanes.

The I-295 Managed Lanes are operating in “time of day” tolling, which means tolls will only be charged during peak travel times. Peak travel times along this corridor of I-295 are from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.

During non-peak hours, tolls are not collected, and violations for users without a transponder are waived. Drivers using the lanes during peak hours are encouraged to obtain a SunPass or another interoperable transponder to avoid the toll violation.

May is Motorcycle and Bicycle Safety Awareness Month. Motorcyclists and bicyclists are vulnerable road users. Look twice before pulling into an intersection, changing lanes or making a turn. Be a cautious driver, and let’s get everyone home safely!
