How Do Toll Rates Work on the 95 Express? Toll rates on the 95 Express are based on the traffic conditions of the express lanes only, and not on the conditions of the local lanes. Roadway monitors placed on the project limits of the highway provide continuous information about how many vehicles are in the express lanes; how fast they are going; and how close together they are. This information is used to determine whether tolls go up or down to provide the best conditions possible. As the express lanes become more congested, toll rates increase. As the congestion goes down, toll rates decrease. This is called "Dynamic Tolling." Additionally, it is important to note that the facility, like any other road can only carry a certain amount of vehicles at one time. Conditions with high tolls and low speeds may not be avoidable in the future if everybody chooses to use the highway at the same time. That is why one of the main goals of the 95 Express is to encourage carpooling and transit usage to increase the number of people traveling through the corridor, while reducing the total number of vehicles and improve mobility Click here to view a summary of the weekly toll rates to determine the best time to travel on I-95 and/or use 95 Express. You may also call 5-1-1 1or log onto www.fl511.com to learn about real-time traffic conditions and determine if the 95 Express is the best option for making your trip before leaving for your destination. |

Express Lanes Are Improving Traffic Conditions For ALL Drivers On I-95 Users of I-95 – both those using the express lanes and the local lanes – are benefitting from significant performance improvements along the corridor in Miami-Dade County. Before 95 Express, the local lanes and the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes were operating below 20 MPH during rush hour periods. With the opening of the express lanes, drivers are experiencing improved speeds above 40 MPH in the local lanes and 50 MPH in the express lanes along the northbound and southbound directions during rush hour periods. To view express lanes typical toll amounts by hour, click on the "Tolling & Typical Toll Rates" section on this site. 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. EXISTING EXPRESS LANES - PHASE 1B: Southbound: This phase included building two southbound express lanes between Miami Gardens Drive / NE 183th Street and S.R. 836. The new express lanes, commonly known as High Occupancy Toll (HOT) Lanes, replaced 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 included extending the length of the northbound express lanes by relocating the northbound entrance. It has been relocated approximately one mile south of its former location, closer to I-395/S.R. 836 and downtown Miami. |
