ALL-ELECTRONIC TOLLING SYSTEM FOR CARD SOUND ROAD GOES INTO OPERATION IN JUNE; SUNPASS SPECIAL PROMOTION TO BE HELD MAY 9 IN KEY LARGO

KEY LARGO, FL – The new All-Electronic Tolling System is being installed on Card Sound Road and will be operational in June 2018. It replaces the cash-only tollbooth that was removed last year.

With the new system, all tolls will be collected electronically. Motorists will use either SunPass®, an interoperable transponder or TOLL-BY-PLATE. Cash will not be accepted on the roadway. TOLL-BY-PLATE customers will be charged the toll plus a monthly $2.50 administrative fee and will be billed by mail.

The new Card Sound toll rates are: $1.50 for two axle vehicles (cars, pickup trucks and motorcycles) and $1 per axle for vehicles with 3 or more axles. Discount programs are available for two-axle vehicles only, but must use SunPass® and have an account in good standing.
