IMPORTANT NOTICE:

The northbound entrance to 95 Express is moving south!

95 Commuter Express Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) provides a fast and convenient service for commuters between Broward and Miami-Dade Counties. Three new routes provide direct express service to downtown Miami, making use of the 95 Express lanes. Commuters travel on brand new, Wi-Fi accessible, hybrid articulated buses. The new express routes are funded by the Federal Transit Administration and the Florida Department of Transportation.

Commuters can start at three locations in Broward County:

Pines Boulevard/Flamingo Road     |    Sheridan Street/I-95     |   Broward Blvd./I-95

Existing Express Lanes - Phase 1A:

Northbound:

The Florida Department of Transportation opened the northbound express lanes for tolling between I-195 / S.R. 112 and NW 151st Street in December 2008.

Users of I-95 – both those using the express lanes and the general purpose lanes – have benefited from significant performance improvements along the corridor in Miami-Dade County.  Before 95 Express, the general purpose lanes and the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes were operating at below 20 MPH during the peak period in the peak direction.  With the opening of Phase 1A, users have seen their travel times reduced and operating speeds for all users dramatically improved to over 40 MPH in the general purpose lanes and 55 MPH in the new express lanes.

The “Tolling & Typical Toll Rates” section on this site provides a breakdown of recent toll rates with associated times of day.  These do not guarantee future toll rates, but give a general sense of how tolls vary throughout the day.  Actual tolls at any particular time are based on traffic conditions.

Upcoming Express Lanes - Phase 1B:

Southbound:

This phase, which includes building two southbound express lanes between Miami Gardens Drive / NW 186th Street and S.R. 836, is nearing completion. The new express lanes, commonly known as High Occupancy Toll (HOT) Lanes, replace the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane in this area.

Express lanes are separated from general purpose lanes by plastic poles. Plastic Pole installation in the southbound express lanes was completed in December, 2009 and electronic toll collection began on January 15, 2010. Express Bus service between Miami-Dade and Broward Counties began on January 25, 2010.

Northbound:

Phase 1B also includes extending the length of the northbound express lanes by relocating the northbound entrance. It will be relocated approximately one mile south of the current location, closer to I-395/S.R. 836 and downtown Miami. Relocation will be completed by spring 2010 and will increase the benefit of the northbound express lanes.
