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.
